My theory: the parachute they gave him was packed to not open. He's impacted several feet into the ground somewhere.

He asked for four, two main and two backup. Of those one backup was non-functioning and the other was supposedly possibly by him to carry the money.

He asked for two sets specifically to imply a hostage might be jumping with him, to negate the option of parachute tampering.
