An unopened chute has got to be better than none right? Edit: at slowing your fall I mean.

- lazide 4y agoSee my comment above - it depends on what body position it puts you in, and what body position you’d otherwise be in. In sports skydiving, it’s generally considered fatal either way to not have a fully functioning parachute above your head long before you come back in contact with the ground. A partially deployed parachute is also considered to be one of the most potentially lethal types of malfunctions, as it has a high risk of entangling the reserve parachute. Bailout parachutes often don’t have a backup.
