Skydiver Survives Dual Parachute Failure

Canadian authorities have launched investigations, including a criminal negligence probe, after a skydiver was injured when both her main and reserve parachutes failed to deploy properly. The 30-year-old woman suffered broken bones and other non-life-threatening injuries after falling about 5,000 feet during a solo jump near Trois Rivieres, Quebec. It was described by local media as a dual parachute failure but it’s not clear to what degree the parachutes helped break her fall.
