Main and Reserve
a parachute
He will most likely be killed by the hard impact under a partially/non-inflated reserve.
The skydiver pulls out a pilot chute and releases it . The pilot chute then inflates and pulls the main canopy out of the pack, allowing it to open. This is how a sports skydiver opens his main parachute. Reserve parachutes are kept closed by a small pin holding a loop closed, and pulling a ripcord connected to this pin starts the deployment process. A spring loaded pilot chute is released, which inflates and pulls out the reserve parachute in a way similar to the main chute. This system is more reliable than the process used to pack the main parachute, but it is less convenient, and takes much longer to pack.
