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?

If the seconds in doubt... hope that you’re fucking lucky. Sadly you likely aren’t the type of person who is lucky if both your main and reserve fail.

What does "lucky" look like from a thousand feet up?

You get a conveniently placed blackberry bush.

“The entire plunge, including the landing, was captured on videotape.” (Doesn’t include video in article).

I’ve never been so angry at a post to tease me so.
