A man died headfirst in the desert, with half a match in his hand and luggage scattered around him. Why? (riddle)

Five explorers traveled around the world in a hot air balloon. As a result, when they flew to a big desert, the power was suddenly insufficient and the concentration of hot air balloons dropped! This is a decision made by several people: you must throw heavy objects below, or you will all die in the desert! So they threw the suitcase out, but the hot air balloon was still falling-another person was going to be thrown out! ! Of course, no one wants to be thrown out, because that means death. So they decided to draw lots quickly. A man took out five matches and broke one of them. If someone gets a half game, he must fall down. Unfortunately, this half match was drawn by himself-so he was mercilessly thrown out, planted head down in the desert and died.
