> In a scenario where my parachute fails, my solution of opening my extra, functional, parachute worked.

I specifically put the backup parachute in my answer because I assumed they would make just 'opening a parachute' fail. And of course it went ahead and failed the first one and allowed the second one to work. Maybe it wouldn't every time though.

It failed my second "emergency chute" I chose to spread eagle in a last ditch effort and killed me too.

I survive the runaway car on a steep hill by "downshifting to a lower gear while holding e-brake and avoiding obstacles and using the gaurd"

Survived being stuck on the airplane by using my body weight to freemyself.
