Done 4 parachute jumps for charaty, I recomend it!
On one of them the instructor was going through the safety systems...
"you jump out, fall about 30 feet then the static line pulls your chute open"
"If that fails, you pull the handle on the front of your chute"
"If you don't, when you get to about 1000 feet, an automatic system fires an explosive bolt to deploy your chute"
"If that fails, you pull the handle on your reserve chute"
"if that fails, just before you smash into the ground at 120 mph, cross your legs and hold your left arm up in the air, then it's a left hand screw when they try to get our body out of the hole and your relatives will have your wristwatch as a memory of you!"

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
