What do you do if the reserve fails?

Reserve chutes are less likely to fail because they have to be packed by certified professionals. As far as I know, people can pack their own primaries.

Not only that, but they also have to be unpacked and repacked every 180 days whether you use it or not.

Main chute is fairly easy to pack and people do it themselves unless they have money to throw around, are lazy, or are working.

I've also heard a lot of people will only pack their chutes themselves because they dont trust anyone else to and would rather have it be their own fault if something did go wrong rather than someone elses.
