Hey You! What If...: In "You Could Run At The Speed Of Sound?", Zigi—having suffered all of the indignities that running at the speed sound involves—still loses the race because he deploys his parachute to slow himself down and it snags on a post, stopping him dead in his tracks.

In Scavenger Hunt, Henry and his kids are driving along a rural road when the parachute (one of the items in the Scavenger Hunt) in the back of the station wagon deploys through the open rear window. This causes the car to slue out of control and winds up stranding them with a flat tyre.

In the final act of the original Modern Warfare, when the joint UK/US task force parachutes onto the Russian missile silo, the US Marine Griggs deploys his parachute too early, getting blown off course by the wind and captured by the silo defenders. The first objective is thus to rescue him.

James Bond:
In Octopussy, Bond is captured and sitting in the back of a truck being guarded by two paratroopers wearing their chutes. As the truck is driving, Bond's accomplice drives alongside the truck and proceeds to Show Some Leg. While his guards are Distracted by the Sexy, Bond reaches out and yanks the ripcords on their chutes. The chutes deploy and the paratroopers go flying off the back of the truck.
In Die Another Day, Bond kills Gustav Graves by pulling the cord on his chute, which yanks him out of the damaged plane and into the engine.

In Cars 2, after Mater is outfitted with voice-activated technology and his cover is blown at the lemon meeting, his reflexive exclamations are misinterpreted as commands to deploy and shoot his gatling guns and then deploy his parachute.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: When Spidey is dropped from high in the sky by the Vulture, his suit automatically triggers its emergency parachute. Unfortunately for him, he's facing upward with his back pointing towards the ground, meaning the parachute pops out from underneath him. Unable to catch air, it immediately envelops him, causing him to nearly drown when he crashes in a lake but can't swim up to the surface through the chute. Also, he forgets to have it reinstalled, resulting in a later mission involving heights putting him in danger of a fatal fall.

Kerbal Space Program: An unfortunately frequent occurrence when parachutes aren't properly staged or the player has triggered them at inappropriate times. 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.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen:
Jetfire accidentally deploys his vehicle mode's parachute, causing him to fall on his back. This is played as the robot equivalent of flatulence.
Galloway misinterprets protocols on how to deploy his parachute as actually instructing him to do so. He pulls the cord too early and gets sucked out of the plane as his parachute opens up.
