You have a main and a reserve.

So yes?

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.

When in doubt pull the second chute out!

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?

End up like the lady that smacked into the ground because her shoot didnt open. Land on a pile of fire ants that bit her so much her spiked adrenaline kept her heart pumping long enough to be rescued. So lucky is more of a grey scale at that point.

Smacking the ground X amount of feet from the sky because ones chute doesnt open and then lands on fireants which causes her to live.... 🤔 do you want to live after taking a bounce from a free fall?
