I'm working on a story in which my main character must jump from a small plane...she has never done so before but it's either jump or crash. My general idea right now is that she ends up stuck in tree about 15 feet from the ground with the canopy and lines all tangled. She is going to be battered, bruised, and bloody but okay for the most part. My secondary character finds her and tells her to just unfasten the straps, fall, and he will catch her.
So...how hard will it be for her to release buckles? Is that even feasible? Anyone ever been stuck in a tree and have a story to tell? Also, as one who has never jumped before, how much trouble will she have trying to steer the chute...I know that will probably depend on what type chute but I'm just needing an in general type answer.

Thanks so much! Appreciate all your input.
