Description
Jumper recently downsized his canopy from a 150 to the 138. On this jump there was no wind and the spot was directly over the DZ. After a normal freefall and opening the jumper began to carry out spiral turns and kept turning until below 1000 feet. He stopped turning and flew straight for a bit, then started a sharp 270 degree turn that ended when he hit the roof of the hangar. The jumper then fell off the roof of the hanger to the ground below.
