The pilot quickly goes through all the drills to unfasten himself from his seat, which involves striking various quick-release buckles securing him in place. As he rolls out of the cockpit and into space, tugging for the ripcord, he realizes... he has also hit the quick-release buckle that was holding his parachute in place. The ripcord still pulls, but the parachute is no longer securely attached to him. As the weight of his body in freefall pulls him out of the harness, the last thing he sees is the parachute opening all by itself and getting further away.

For example, deploying main chute before deploying a drogue chute might cause the main chute to wrench off due to it being unable to handle the greater air forces at higher velocity. Less frequent in later versions, as the default behaviour is now for parachutes to wait to deploy until they can safely do so without being destroyed.
