Don't you have video of the incident with the brief tangle and chute collapse at low altitude that rolled the ambulance?

@@IncidentResponse EAA Oshkosh AirVenture show at the end of the opening parachuting Canadian routine on Saturday 7/27. It was two Maple Leaf insignia canopies where the jumpers link together and the separation went badly compounded by the move they do with holding the break until the last little bit of altitude is left. It was pretty much the last two landings...one landing and one thump. They ended up loading an empty gurney into the back of the ambulance while patting the guys back and let him walk away.

@@IncidentResponse Saturday. It was the Canadian parachuters during the day. They were holding each other feet by feet or something then when they separated. The dude (who smacked ground), his parachute got caught by the other parachuters feet and when his parachute got cleared from the dude feet. He didn’t have enough time to ease into the landing or slow down so he just smacked the ground hard. But he refused EMS services cause the ambo went back to its staging area
