| Description |
| A canadian jumper initiated a front riser turn extremely low to the ground. He impacted at the same time as his canopy, rebounded and impacted again 20-30 feet away. He had been wearing a video-camera helmet but it was torn away during the first impact and was found separately.
Medical help reached him within about 45 seconds and stabilized him. He had two broken femurs (one open) and serious facial/cranial injuries. He was life-flighted out. He died in hospital from his head injuries. |
