What If Our Parachute Doesn't Open? Access

Total parachute failure is extremely rare, with malfunctions occurring in roughly 1 in 1,000 jumps, prompting rigorous training for emergency procedures. If the main canopy fails, jumpers are trained to cut it away and deploy a reserve, a process backed by Automatic Activation Devices (AADs) that automatically deploy the reserve at a critical low altitude.
