This reminds me of military line jumps. Every so often the line doesn't deploy right and the jumper is just flapping in the wind hitting the side of the plane banging around. The old protocol was just to cut the line and let them deploy as normal but now they have a whole device to try to pull them back in. I've heard sometimes the damage is much worse cause you spend more time in the air and hitting the plane. Saw a video of it once where the device took forever to deploy and you just heard a constant banging from the back. Sounded horrible. I guess this system was started because someone has their line cut and was already unconscious and didn't survive the landing or was seriously injured.
