“I remember jumping out of the plane and looking up and seeing there was a complication with the parachute,” said Wethington. “I started kicking my feet like I was taught in the class and I looked up and it still wasn’t fixing, so I tried to pull the toggles apart and I just was not strong enough to fight off the wind. I just remember screaming and I blacked out.”
