C6-3. Too much crammed into the tube and the chute jammed on ejection. The nosecone came out, saving it, but the body went straight in. Only 1/2" of the top of the tube was crushed and 2 fins broke off. Attempted to fly the astronaut, he apparently survived. Rocket was repaired that evening! Opened up the nosecone so future flights can carry the electronics in the cone.
