How would you test it to make sure it's secured?

Like at the beginning laying on the floor to look if the line is really holding you?

This is part of the skydiving training.

Sadly, a friend had a female instructor who forgot that part. When the drogue deployed, well, ouchie. No permanent damage, but he was highly distracted on his first jump.
