Q. What if my parachute doesn't open?
A. By FAA regulation, all intentional parachute jumps must be made with a single harness, dual parachute system with both a main and a secondary, or reserve, parachute. Basically, if one doesn't work, you have another one. The reserve parachutes are inspected and repacked every 120 days by and FAA-certified rigger whether they've been used or not. Student main parachutes are packed by a rigger or are packed under direct supervision of a certified rigger. In addition, all students must use an AAC which will deploy if the student fails to activate either the main or reserve parachute.

Q. Can I breathe in freefall?
