Unbelievable story! Had to be a Marine to survive a 2 chute failure.



Saw an ex-Army Ranger, good friend of mine, doing sport skydiving
survive a main and reserve entanglement. It was a slow spinning
malfunction. Didn't even get a bruise. Same guy cut away his brand new
main just before he entered the trees, he didn't want to get an holes in
it. He managed to catch a limb with one leg about 50 feet up.

Bored sport skydivers are a crazy bunch.
