Today, I made a point of talking to our parachute riggers, and thanking them for all they do. Today is also the first day I had to pull my reserve chute because my main chute didn't open correctly. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

They sound like a para idiots. At the bare minimum, at least they packed the reserve chute correctly.

It was just their idea of a joke--
"Hey, let's mispackage his main chute so that he freaks out."
"Haha that's great."

I'm actually gonna go ahead and guess that OP is a member of 82nd ABN at Ft. Bragg (based on his location).

Hard Luck OP! Hope you are alright! You can bet it was just a mistake!

A mistake that shouldn't happen, chutes that fail can seriously hurt or kill the poor bastard who got stuck with it.

Chute that was a close one.

My sad attempt at a pun, yes I failed.

At least you didn't thank them twice!

Am I the only one who first read "riggers" as something completely different?

I think you should be talking to, and thanking Dog more often. Perhaps checking the rig yourself woudn't be bad either. But that must've been some adrenaline rush!!!
