My daughter's very first skydive... and her chute didn't open!
It was Father's Day, and she went skydiving with me as a Father's Day gift. I had also jumped right after she did, and so I was directly above her, watching as her instructor cut their primary chute away. It all happens very quickly. You'll see the chute deploy, the instructor gets a concerned look on his face for a second as he realizes their lines are tangled, and then he cuts away the main chute, immediately opening the emergency chute. You hear my daughter scream for a moment, but she handles it all like the champ she is. :) (She is fearless. Be sure to check out some of my other videos, like her first time in a jiujitsu competition... and she gets first place in her division!) Very proud dad, here.
Luckily the reserve chute worked just fine, and her jump instructor did a fantastic job! These things happen (approximately 1 in 1,000 jumps) and we will absolutely be going back!
