Re: Shooting pilots in their parachutes

when i did my first jump with an Irvine one of the lads asked the instuctor "what he should do if he was going to land on a fence or other such obstacle", the instructor replied "keep yer feet together", in an irritated manner he then asked "well what dont we want to land on then"?
to which our instructor replied "a helicopter"

as you say even slipping a chute can lead to disaterous consequences, a collapsed chute is time to hit the reserve!
