Huygens' explosive bolts (containing the same type of charges used in ejection seats) jettisoned the heat shield, flinging Huygens ~60 meters into the Titan air, briefly entangling in the still descending main parachute, and taking it with it. This sequence is caught in the earliest Huygens images.

Please explain how a 350kg (770lbs) probe was shot 60 meters into the air without any damage to the probe? Do you have any idea how much explosive material you would need to lauch it upward to that altitude?
And what is it with you and heat shields? What have they ever done to you?
And you seem to have alot happening in a 70 seconds time span. I doubt that the probe would have had time to release the second chute on it's way down. If it hadn't released the 3 meter chute by the time of first impact, I can't see it being released because it went 'upward' again.
Hearing the heat shield spinning? No, you blew it up when the Hygens probe was sent back upward. Hear any major explosions on your sound recording?
