1. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
2. Thanks for pointing out the obvious in a retarded fashion. I highly doubt he did anything wrong in his packjob to "pack himself" a 180. There are many other factors to 180's than just how you pack.

strong turbulent winds near buildings are notorious for causing funky off heading openings. often such an off heading can be caused by those winds whipping the pilot chute around violently.

To quote a comic whom I can't remember his name: "If you're offended by the word retard, you're probably not that retarded."
