Name: |
Anna Endicott |
| Description |
| Following a routine Freefly coached jump, Anna was observed to be tracking away from her coach. As the coach turned and tracked there was a collision. The force of the collision broke both legs of the coach and in some way contributed to his reserve opening. When he deployed his main, he landed with both canopies out.
It is presumed that Anna was rendered unconscious as a result of the collision because she was seen slumped to one side under a turning reserve that had been opened by the AAD. It is unclear what injuries were caused by the collision or the landing. Anna was unconscious but breathing when friends/witnesses arrived at the scene, but she later died of her injuries. |
