During my cherry jump at Bragg, we had one guy in my squad who had an interesting PLF experience -- somehow (he was never sure), his canteen broke open during his PLF. He didn't have a corresponding bruise or anything on him, so it was a bit mystifying. The only thing we could figure out was that it had a sort of hairline crack in it already, and during the PLF it hit just right to break open the crack completely.
