What about the families of survivors? I'm just thinking too much again.

You need to buy the thing to leave a review

If a parachute fails due to manufacturing defects, wouldn't that be bad news?
-
Slso if your parachute fails, you have a second, angrier parachute as a backup
-
The joke is that the person with a failed shoot dies and therefore can’t leave a review.

That episode never sat right with me. I don't care how soft the mud is. There is no way anyone could survive a fall from 15k ft!

From my understanding, that is a thing that actually happens from time to time in real life.
Which is horrifying.

It's happened more often than you'd think. Usually there is something that makes it happen, like falling through tree branches or into something like a snow bank, but it happens enough that it pops up in trivia from time to time.

The amount of scathing that a canopy company gets when a skydiver hits hard is particularly dependent on their quality. Most of us who skydive read the death/injury reports regularly, and when the equipment was at fault it (the report) gets nasty. Here's a link if anyone is curious to read through some of them. The majority are going to be the fault of the loon jumping out of a plane, but every now and then you'll see an equipment failure. Most of those, even, are due to poor maintenance and upkeep, not manufacturer sleaziness.
