According to his jump log the parachute was indeed a T-10. He suggested the C-130's right hand door protecting the jumper from prop blast of the inboard motor was not fully deployed. My Dad was 5'10' and 215 lbs at the time of the jump. Perhaps the C-130 was at high speed. Dad says in Jumpmaster school its only one jumper per pass so maybe the pilots were expediting? Investigators found the chute rotted. He makes no mention of being dragged. Pic of jump log attached. Jump #21. Thanks for the response.
