16. A soldier is parachute training. He jumps out of plane high enough that the pilot determines the soldier will land somewhere in an 240 foot radius land zone. The pilot forgot to mention to the soldier that the parachute has very little maneuverability (no steering) and there are 30 trees in the landing zone.
