Why did it take the reserve chute so long to deploy?
Did the soldier do it on purpose (to reduce the odds of it getting tangled)?

Safely is not a word most paratroopers would include in the landing portion of jumps. They land but it’s almost never safely. Those hips, knees, ankles, and back are certainly not safe afterwards.
