QuickCheck: Can you survive a parachute failure?

MANY of us have toyed with the idea of going skydiving. Parachuting is the closest you can get to actually flying (or at least feel like you're flying) but it does come with its fair amount of risks.

Hurtling downwards at 200km/h might be a dream come true for some but a nightmare for others, especially when you consider any mistake would leave you closer to mother earth than you'd rather be.
