The fact that guy safely landed is nothing short of a miracle. At any time, his chute could have completely broken away and that would have been the end of the story.
Somehow, he made it back to the ground in one piece. Again, it’s nothing short of a miracle. The ending to this story could have been very different if the helicopter or chute had done things differently.
