Question:
What if the parachute doesn't open?
Answer:
Every skydiving rig is equipped with both a main and a reserve parachute. Every rig!
As a tandem skydiver, you are with a trained professional who knows how to handle a malfunction and deploy the reserve canopy if it's necessary. Premier Skydiving takes your safety very seriously and has never had a fatality.
As a Solo student, you are taught how to deploy your main canopy on time and stable. And to recognize what a malfunction looks like as well as how to deal with the malfunction in a timely manner. If the malfunction is the type that cannot be dealt with, you are taught how to cut-away your main parachute and deploy your reserve parachute, which is extremely unlikely to have a malfunction.
