He was wearing the Army&#8217;s new T-11 parachute, his third jump with it. The new square canopy is supposed to reduce injuries by creating a slower, more controlled descent.<\/p>\n<p>Testing of the parachute showed a 70 percent drop in injuries compared with the last Army parachute, the T-10.<\/p>\n<p>The T-11 parachutes were first used on Fort Bragg in December 2009. By 2014, the 82nd Airborne Division will have 14,000 of them.<\/p>\n<p>Clay is the first 82nd Airborne Soldier to die using the new parachute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So he was carrying a &#8220;gun&#8221;, huh?
