A friend's son was in the 82nd Airborne in the 90s. The did an exercise jump with all kit. A friend of his landed in such a way that the stock of his rifle caught him under the rib cage. He simply continued into the ground like a sack of potatoes. The medic rushed to help but he was gone. The pressure of the stock during the landing had ruptured his heart.
