2004 C-182 FL Labelle Non-Fatal Non-Fatal Single-Engine Tail Strike

C-182H Non-Fatal LaBelle, FL June 8, 2004

The pilot stated that while the first parachutist was climbing out on the airplanes strut, her pilot chute got caught on a safety belt resulting in the inadvertent deployment of her main parachute, which streamed back over the right horizontal stabilizer. The parachutist went under as the main parachute went over the top of the stabilizer.
