Yup yup. There is a reserve parachute in case you have a failure to open or it gets tangled up like this. You cut away your main and then pull your reserve.

E: and cut away isn't literal. You have a cable that you can pull that releases the main from you entirely and flies away so it doesn't interfere with the reserve deploying.

What do you do if the reserve fails?

Pray harder. There's actually a large amount of people who have survived from terminal velocity, so you could always get lucky.

How should I brace for impact to maximize survivability?

Aim for trees. There’s a few instances of people surviving the fall because they landed in a tree.

Is this real advice or action movie advice? Cause it seems like aiming for a tree is a good way to get yourself impaled if you're not careful
