My theory: the parachute they gave him was packed to not open. He’s impacted several feet into the ground somewhere.

Well he asked for 3 parachutes if I remember correctly. This gave him the opportunity to take a hostage with him and no way to guarantee who got which parachute. So it is unlikely that it was tampered with.

Now did he use it correctly who knows it still could have not opened.

He did pick the hardest to use out of the three, the one made for combat.
