a parachute
Main and Reserve
He will most likely be killed by the hard impact under a partially/non-inflated reserve.
Parachutes work by creating drag as they open and catch air, which slows down the descent of an object or person. The parachute's canopy is designed to create aerodynamic lift and decrease the terminal velocity of the falling object, ultimately allowing for a softer and safer landing.
The cast of Beyond the Thrill - 2014 includes: Nick Halseth as Skydiver Greg Heideman as Skydiver Andy Junghans as Skydiver John Kreutchmeyer as Skydiver Alissa Olson as Skydiver
Eli Thompson - skydiver - died in 2009.
Eli Thompson - skydiver - was born in 1973.
'chute
They had a chute out!
chute
The shape of the displacement versus time graph for a skydiver would be a curve that starts at zero displacement when the skydiver jumps out of the plane, increases as the skydiver falls accelerating due to gravity, and eventually levels off as the skydiver reaches terminal velocity. The curve will then be a straight line at a constant displacement representing the terminal velocity until the skydiver opens the parachute, at which point the displacement will decrease as the skydiver slows down and lands.
