Just picked up my parachute after a re-rig and jokingly asked if these

accident a couple of weeks ago in England. *Looks like this guy was
pretty low when he decided to get out. *Probably had a full open canopy
below 100 feet or so. *Looks like another save for the people at Strong..
I have this same canopy but in a different container. *Be nice to your
rigger.
