[alt text: text that says, "The last thing you see when your parachute fails to open". Below the text is a photo of the lid of a spice jar. The lid is labeled: "GROUND CUMIN".]

Kinda triggered by this post. My father had that happen to him for his 99th jump on a Friday the 13th. He considers that his lucky day because most parachutes have a backup parachute which he got to use that day for the first time.
So no, skydivers just look for their parachute after it failed to open properly and they had to deploy the backup because those things are fucking expensive.
I bet he was really mad about the cost of the backup parachute all the while he was floating down to the ground.
Yeah, that as well. You have to pay a special licensed packer to pack the backup parachute.
