Description
Jump normal until about 300 m (1200 feet). At this height, over the peas, the jumper threw her helmet down and apparently without reason cut away a good main canopy. Jumper went into a track position and hit the ground without any apparent attempt to deploy the reserve. All circumstances point quite clearly to suicide.
