Michael Zigmund Army There were 13 cases of U,S, Army Parachute failure deaths from 2010 to 2015 in the late comprehensive government study published in 2019. Most occurred during static-line operations and were jumps from a C-17 aircraft using a T-11 parachute. The two most common assigned accident codes were “improper or abnormal exit” and “unstable or improper body position,” which combined accounted for 33% of cases. Also noteworthy at 11% each were “entanglement,” “parachute malfunction,” and “dragged on the drop zone,” and at 6% each were “static line injury,” “lost or stolen air,” and “drop zone hazard.” In 69% of cases blunt force trauma was the cause of death.
