What if the parachute was a time travel artifact? We know Hugo and Vanessa worked arounf the 70s or 80s, around the right time for Cooper. When he landed, he got caught in a loop because somethng went wrong with the hijacking, so the parachute became an artifact to try and re-start the heist to get it right. That's why no-one has found either Cooper or the money, they're stuck between time. So when H&V got the artifact from Cooper, it stuck him in that loop because it was never properly neutralized by allowing the events to go off without a hitch and Cooper has been reliving the events for 40 years trying to get it right.
