Actually I have a friend who survived a skydiving mishap. His parachute failed to deploy properly. He broke his back.
Ouch, well at least it did something to break his fall enough so he didn't die. He got lucky. You really have to check and recheck your equipment and pack it correctly. Was it a backup parachute that slowed him down or was he stuck with the first one?
