## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AS THE FIRST JUMPER WAS GETTING POSITIONED TO EXIT THE AIRPLANE, HIS EMERGENCY PARACHUTE DEPLOYED, DRAPING ITS LINES OVER THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. AS HE WAS PULLED FROM THE AIRPLANE, HE WENT UNDER THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER, CAUSING THE LINES TO TIGHTEN AROUND IT. AS THE LINES CAME FREE, THEY BENT THE STABILIZER DOWN AND BROKE THE OUTER HINGE ON THE RIGHT ELEVATOR. THE REMAINING TWO SKYDIVERS THEN EXITED THE AIRPLANE AND THE PILOT LANDED AT THE AIRPORT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENT.
