10 years ago Author: deveee 0.7.3 is a bit old version...
Try to run current svn or at least 0.8 - you can download binaries from STK site: http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Downloads
As long as I remember, I didn't have any issues with using parachutes in 0.7.3.
If you want 0.7.3 rather than 0.8, you can try to download official binaries. This may be problem with irrlicht library, which is in different versions in repositories. https://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart/0.7.3/supertuxkart-0.7.3-linux-glibc2.7-i386.tar.bz2/download
If it won't solve this issue, there is probably nothing which can be done... There are no plans to release 0.7.4 version and in current svn in works properly.
Please reopen this ticket if you will have this problem with current version. In such case, backtrace from gdb can be useful.

When racing and trying to utilize a parachute, as soon as I press the space bar, the game crashes.
Running dmesg says this:
supertuxkart[segfault at 84 ip b7425e66 sp bfc2c360 error 4 in libIrrlicht.so.1.7a.3b725d000+493000
I'm running the game on Linux 3.5.0-41-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 11 15:40:48 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux.
