I've just heard from a friend of mine that spoke with Marcello
Ciarlo, that, of course, after he  tumbled he threw his parachute, but it
did not open! Marcello and his glider fell down on to a steep slope and were
stopped from sliding down on the mountain by the chute that then opened.

I tried to open my parachute after tumbling near the take off. I
landed up on the mountain and Rega helicopter picked me within one hour. The
organization of the competition was very professional and operated in this
situation in a very flawlessly way.
