Why I Skydived Only Once.

Fortunately for me and my family, when I skydived for the first and last time over Hollister in July 1990, although the same thing happened to me that happened in this video, I was able to turn around and slammed into a mountainous pasture just in time, was dragged about 30 yards uphill in hot, dry, dusty, gravelly earth (that's why they call it "dirt surfing") with an inflated chute that wouldn't deflate until it was good and ready to. I do not recommend skydiving to anyone. I was spitting out dirt for days. It was an experience I'll never do again, not unless my life absolutely depended on it.
