The tank drop starts out okay, but then two of the three chutes are taken out and they start to plummet. Essentially, the cross-sectional area is cut by three, meaning the terminal velocity increases by about 70% (or more, the surviving chute was a bit shot up). And this tank had no snorkels equipped at the time, it hit a lake at high speed and then drove out.
