Her first time skydiving and her parachute malfunctioned!

Her words;

It was my first time to do skydiving and i did a tandem jumping. i felt absolutely awesome but after i landed my cameraman told me that actually there was an accident with my parachute. my coach pulled once but the parachute refused to open, so he had to open the backup one to save us both. Notice that in the video at 4:03 my cameraman made a gesture of 2, meaning that my coach pulled the string twice

You just shouldn't jump out of a working plane.. Shit can happen and you might go splat.

Well known Air Traffic Controller statement:

Only Fools jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

that video sucked... i thought there was going to be some panic and mayhem in there somewhere but she never knew what happened until after the fact... just another parachute video IMO
