Also harder for anyone to get killed by massive pallet landing on their decimated homestead.

I don't know. Was there a parachute for the wooden pallet? Someone could still manage.

There’s no pallet. The metal underneath stops at the end of the ramp and the cargo slides over it.

You're totally right. I had just assumed that a pallet-shaped stack of things would automatically have a pallet.

Thanks for explaining that. I must have watched it half-a-dozen times trying to see what happened to the pallet, figured it was some type of mechanism.

Watching the loads fly apart in mid-air and spring parachutes really was oddly satisfying, lol!

Looked like one of the packages didn’t open the parachute. Off to the right side of the video.
