What killed this man (theorem) -

A parachutist jumps from a plane. His chute doesn't open. He hits the ground so hard that when people pass by - they aren't even disgusted - they believe someone dropped a pizza on the ground with extra tomato sauce.
If the parachute had opened - he'd be alive. Yet, it's hitting the ground that removed his wrinkles.
What killed the man? The parachute or the ground???​

 

the sudden stop.

works with cars too.

The lack of planning or packing the chute

 

the c o m b i n a t i o n of the two, ohhh what a mindfuck

 

er... gravity

 

The landing killed him. The parachute just helped it happen.

 

i know! i know! he landed right in front of godfathers pizza... the godfather did it! that is how the godfather keeps his overhead down, and that is why his pizzas are so large with all that extra sauce.
the godfather screwed up this one though. the secret of his pizzas is now out...CANNIBALISM NEVER TASTED SO GOOD!
