re: #38 Justanotherhuman

Nobody has been able to satisfactorily answer my question, “What happens if the parachute does not open?”

They tell me that there is a reserve parachute.

“Skydive Arizona blamed the accident on a malfunctioning parachute that was released too low to the ground to allow a reserve parachute to fully open.”

Not satisfactory.

Somebody might talk me into paragliding some day, it is not without danger, but the chute is already open before you jump.
