When the instructor opened the parachute after a couple of somersaults, the parachute got stuck between their legs. For 24 seconds Bryan and his co-jumper felt down without a working parachute.

They landed 1.5 km from the original target at a field. Another jumper, who jumped just after Adams, recorded the whole incident with his video camera.
