When Kelly and MacGyver parachute out of the plane, the ground below is green and grassy with lots of trees and a river flowing through it. When they land though, they are in a dry scrubland.
The parachutes of Mac and Kelly both opened as they jumped out of the airplane. This is normal procedure if they were connected to a static line, which deploys the chute at a predetermined distance from the plane. However, neither one of them were attached to a static line.
