I agree with Leif.

you'd guess that it would be his responsobility to open his chute, but not according to him.

Very Lucky indeed.

If, as the story implies, he was filming the other jumper then there is a good chance that he would have almost no situational awareness in terms of how close he was to the ground. Yes he would have been concentrating on getting that 'good' shot but this is where teamwork comes in and he was relying on the other jumper giving a signal as to when to pull the cord as the other jumper should have been watching the ground.

He was damn lucky to hit that snow drift as it looked as though he could easily have been smashed on the rocks.

Everything that goes wrong is always someone elses fault :@

The rest of the time they want praise for the slightest little thing. :brick:
