Just about the worst time to rip your parachute would be while it was in use. YouTuber [DVybz](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFq9W0rcjR-kDzU4AsLKRMA) experienced this exact terrifying moment as he was paragliding above a snowy mountainside. As he tried to stabilize his parachute during a strong gust of wind, the parachute tore slightly. He fell for nearly 50 feet before he was able to regain control and eventually land safely.
