    Today I learned : a parachute may deploy in a distorted, horseshoe-like shape.

      Yeah, it’s one of the more dangerous ones because it can lead to exactly what she experienced, which is two parachutes out at the same time.

      Or your reserve can get tangled up in the lines from the main, which is also, as we say in skydiving circles, “really fucking bad.”
