I'm actually gonna go ahead and guess that OP is a member of 82nd ABN at Ft. Bragg (based on his location).
A mistake that shouldn't happen, chutes that fail can seriously hurt or kill the poor bastard who got stuck with it.
which is why reserve chutes exist
Are there mistakes that should happen?
Chute that was a close one. My sad attempt at a pun, yes I failed.
At least you didn't thank them twice!
It was just their idea of a joke-- "Hey, let's mispackage his main chute so that he freaks out." "Haha that's great."
Am I the only one who first read "riggers" as something completely different?
Yes.
I think you should be talking to, and thanking Dog more often. Perhaps checking the rig yourself woudn't be bad either. But that must've been some adrenaline rush!!!
Being a parachute rigger myself, I would say "bad body position." ;)
Ha. That'll teach you to be thankful.
I thought it was pretty good. XD
