@th3j35t3r I became interested on the failure rate of those chutes...19.7/1000 😫 absolutely terrifying for someone like me who's terrified of heights...takes a lot of guts to do those jumps

2% seems unreasonably high. You'd be losing a high percentage of your troops before they ever got out of training if it were that high.

Yeah I can definitely see spraining ankles a lot. I can sprain my ankle just walking in a field let alone landing in one.
