    If it’s what I imagine to be massive pallets of equipment, people could wrongly be under the impression that these drops will float down like feathers when in reality they’re like a low-speed automobile collision. So as they approach the ground their speed and drift may catch some off-guard.

    Additionally as the article points out, some drops have broken apart or their parachutes do not deploy.
