Another Reason Not To Jump Out Of Airplanes
-
The two skydivers who died when their parachutes didn't open may have lost consciousness or gotten disoriented. Or there was a mechanical malfunction. Either way, the emergency chutes that are supposed to open when the cord isn't pulled in time didn't deploy. So that seals it, because if the backup fail-safe chutes don't work, you're on your own plummeting to the ground, and I don't think I ever want to take the chance of experiencing that.
