OriginalParachute malfunction, time-lapse photo of an erroneous reserve canopy deployment. In this photo the two canopies bump together and come to biplane stability.
Reason
Time-lapse photo of a reserve canopy malfunction. This is not a recent or a high pixel count photo, but it does a good job of showing a rare and dangerous malfunction when a reserve canopy opens while the main canopy is still working. For details see the article's image caption as well as the section "Two canopies out".
