Skydiving related, on Saturday the aforementioned uncles chute f**ked up at about 2000 feet after he did a reverse turn by accident which caused him to rotate at 160mph whilst falling. Luckily he stayed calm, cut away and popped his reserve out at 1700 feet, which is very low to allow the chute to fully deploy. He's still alive though, landed safely etc. Just goes to show that even if something does go wrong, its a simple cut, then a pull, and safely floating again.
