The way we heard the story, the hang glider and
the Glaser Dirks got together, for reasons nobody wants to
talk about. The hang-glider pilot deployed his parachute, but got a
mess of it in a wad, reeled it back in hand-over hand, and "just
threw it back out there," where it opened sufficiently to keep him
alive. Geez.
