i just saw a very blurry video of the run.
his chute was tangled and spinning. too blurry to understand if it was packed improperly or tangled on deployment with the explosion.
tho the video was insanely poor, as best as i could see, there didn’t seem to be much room at the end. the commentary also mentioned barriers (trucks?) at the end. not what i’d use... i’d go with the type of netting you find on aircraft carriers and only after 50-100 ft of soft sand to sink into. then again, if the wheels were still pushing, not much would stop it gently.
And there was another massive explosion, Paul Lee. Note his escape hatch.
