Great article. I can honestly say there is no better truth to the saying its not if, but when... most jumpers get hundreds to thousands of jumps before a reserve ride. I got 4 and had a low speed malfunction on my cat c. From what I have read and been trained skydivers like 3's... so always practise sequence of handles and emergency procedures in 3's as well... once before boarding plane, once as soon as seatbelts are removed, or at 3k feet, and once at 2 min warning. I see way to many fun jumpers at my dz who never touch a handle until they are at pulling altitude.
