Nicolas purportedly woke up under canopy, while Eugenio (who hit him) woke up in the ER with a new titanium face thanks to all the broken bones.

there was a girl that was jumping with automated opening,and when the small chute came out she grabbed it unintentionally,and she brainfreezed and fell like a brick.lucky that the cypress opened the reserve chute.and when she was down she saw the recording and said "next time i'll be more carefull" and the instructor was like "what next time?" :)) she was out .because of the incident whe had to fill about 2 hrs of paperwork :|

Nico, te rajaste!!!!
Just to answer a few of the questions posed: The guy in question was unconscious but the opening shock of the reserve canopy (which would be quite severe) brought him too. His injury was quite extensive mostly from the collision than anything else. The principle from the makers of the CYPRES Unit is to give the skydiver every possible chance to "fix" the problem in-hand when there is little time to do anything more CYPRES activates it's cutter to sever the loop.
