Skydiving instructor dead and his student hospitalized following a tandem jump incident outside Houston.

The business Skydive Houston, about 40 miles outside Houston, said in a statement Sunday that its instructor, whose name was not revealed, had died at a hospital after the 12:30 p.m. incident Saturday.

Waller County Sheriff Troy Guidry said in a statement Saturday that a “chute didn’t open or collapsed somewhere through the fall." “He let off his primary, and then the secondary chute, like, opened halfway up, so he didn’t fall like a straight fall. He was, like, 50 percent chute, like a corkscrew,” he said.

Guidry said he could recall no problems or accidents at Skydive Houston in the past. The business says on its website that it has a “perfect 100% safety record” and over 50,000 jumps with no injuries.

'Each skydiver, found breathing, was taken to a trauma center by helicopter, he said. Both were initially reported to be in critical condition, the sheriff said'. This sounds horrifying 😢 Skydiving always looked dangerous to me. Hopefully they can fully recover 🙏🙏

I'll never understand why people jump out of a perfectly good plane?! 🙄
