    When you read the headline you’re thinking the parachute didn’t open, but this raises the possibility that it just had a heart attack.

      I think the problem may have been that a horse doesn’t know how to pull the cord to deploy the parachute. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

      This reminds me of the story of engineering students who wanted to test their parachute on the bunny mascot of their department. They threw the poor lagomorph from the top of a building.

      The parachute held, the lil guy’s heart did not.
