Description
Jumper was on an 8 way jump which broke at 4500 ft. He pulled low. There was no external reason, like other jumpers in the airspace, or a collision, for him to do that. The cypres fired. He had two out. Brakes were stowed on both canopies. He suffered fatal injuries fron a hard landing. The canopies were not tangled and looked separate and at line extension, out of the bag

This is still under investigation.
