Reply to comment by Topsyye in Skydiver dies in Florida after 'parachute malfunction,’ authorities say by Thetimmybaby

I work in the industry, and no parachute malfunction is a guaranteed death unless you do everything exactly wrong.

From what I’ve heard personally, it was an old timer who likely deployed the parachute low, had a malfunction and delayed trying to get rid of it and use the reserve parachute until he was about 100ft above the ground. Totally self induced at that point.
