From my understanding of tandem jumps (I was seriously going to try it but backed out), the instructor is on the upper position and in the case that the chute wouldn't open, the passenger would usually take the impact. Your friend must have been really brave enough to try and save the woman by rotating himself to take the impact instead of her. Very noble thing for him to do for someone he barely knew.
