| Description |
| After a normal skydive a high performance landing was initiated at aproximatly 1800 feet (according to cypres 2 readout). The jumper was able to obtain a vertical speed of 36 m/s. At aproximatly 750 feet vertical speed was stil 36 m/s, which caused the Cypres to fire. This resulted in a downplane configuration (main/ reserve), until the main was released at aproximatly 400 feet. Landing speed was aproximatly 15 m/s. The Jumper suffered fatal injuries from the hard landing. |
