Dying on parachute jump is a 1 in 1000 chance.

They used to play that song over the loudspeaker every morning at Jump School.

I remember an incident in the early 90s in which a very experienced skydiver had jumped with students a few times already that day. He forgot to put on his parachute. Filmed with his helmet cam all the way to the ground.

If he didn’t pack his chute, he may want to find out who did.

If he didn’t pack his chute, he may want to find out who did.Since he's dead, he probably knows who packed it and more.

You can induce what is known as a dynamic stall, then full flight recovery. During one of those maneuvers at an airshow I saw the chute dive low, I could see the horizon over the trailing edge of the canopy, then the foil’s pilot chutes wrapped around the lower lines, cutting my canopy in half. pucker factor.
I started pulling lines until it unraveled. I never did that maneuver again.

Jumpers always pack their own chutes. Reserver canopies are packed by a licensed rigger.
