The Chute did'nt fully CANOPY" till he was across . Then the head wind blew him back before he could touch down
Blaming the chute and the gearing at Wembly was two P R mistakes Evel made . Oh Evel had the speed when he hit the ramp . He lost 1 mph bouncing up the ramp . That's all it takes to land on the safety deck
