That is pretty scary... If I go skydiving I would hope that it is fairly safe. I mean obviously you are jumping off a plane and depending on a parachute to keep you from dying, but still you would hope that wouldn't malfunction.. I wonder if it was a malfunction or suicide? I know that is sad, but its definitely a possibility..
