Do you know the answer to this logic puzzle?

An unopened parachute.
Parachutes come in backpacks and when the backpack is opened is when the parachute is deployed.
The man with the unopened backpack didn’t have his parachute deploy, therefore he didn’t have a safe landing and died.
This logic puzzle requires you to draw a connection between the opened/unopened backpacks and why that could be the cause of death. The most likely scenario is the two men were parachuting and one parachute opened and the other didn’t.
