Yea it was a bit , we lost a guy out the C-124 door on a night jump, when
his reserve opened inside the plane , the airflow by the door grabbed it
and out he went, just about broke his back, we didn,t find him for hours..
light duty for months while he recovered..
( dummy forgot to keep the reserve handle covered with his hand. )
