Pete's feet landed on the cow - cow bolted - Pete hit the ground in probably what was one of the worst PLFs ever performed by a paratrooper - didn't last 1 second. 
This was pre-NVG routine usage and our ' auxilliary' went looking for him when he didn't show up at the IRP or ARP within the specified time - he was still lying where he had landed - they almost stepped on him before finding him as it was pitch black and they were still operating in the tactical role-playing mode - they said he was lying there leaning against his ruck and going "Psssst...psssst....over here!" in a loud whisper when they found him.
