Jump but parachute doesn't open: Crazy moment paraglider avoids death after parachute malfunction

Crazy moment paraglider avoids death after parachute fails to open. Kevin Philipp was paragliding in Organya, Spain, doing 'acro' - a freestyle discipline of paragliding that involves performing gravity-defying tricks in the air. However, the Swiss daredevil got into trouble when he appeared to crash into his canopy (or wing) while pulling off a trick, causing him to get tangled in the cables. To make matters worse, when he tried to release his first parachute, it failed to deploy because of the tangled lines - sending him plummeting towards the rapidly approaching ground. Philipp posted footage - shot from a 360-degree camera on his helmet - of his near-death experience to YouTube, showing how the incident unfolded from a vantage point just above his head. A separate video, shot from the ground, also showed just how quickly he was plummeting out of the sky - and his frantic scramble to save himself.

This title makes no sense. He's paragliding, not skydiving. They don't ''jump''. He fell through his glider midflight.

The title is wrong and misleading: this is paragliding and he was doing acro. Acro pilots carry 2 sometime 3 reserve parachutes for this very reason.

The thing is the parachute is open and then they collapse it

If he goes paragliding again after that then he's out of his mind.
