The odds of both chutes failing is astronomical especially after the primary was successfully jettisoned.
There is no such thing as gravity, the earth sucks.

That same type of thing happened when I was doing a summer camp about 35 years ago and was assigned to Cutler Army Hospital.A bird colonel from the Natick Army Labs (not too far from Ft.Devens) was brought in after the chute he was testing (I heard that it was still in development) failed to open.He was taken straight to Pathology.

When you think about it, a quick out is a good way to go.

I’ll say it again; They don’t make an airplane big enough to hold all the people it would take to throw me out of it.

I didn’t find out till years later, but one skydive operation I had jumped at was “credited” with 13 deaths over a period of 20 or so years. Last I heard they were out of business.

The victim died at the scene. Now that is understatement of the obvious at its best
