| Description |
Jumper did a solo skydive and was seen to have a few line twists on opening at 3000 feet. The jumper kicked out of these and was seen flying straight again. At approx 1000 feet the jumper was seen to be in a spiral towards the ground. He struck the ground while still in this situation. He was found with both toggles in hand but a few line twists were still present.
It is suspected that he generated these by making an agressive input on the toggles while around 1000 feet and was unable to kick out of them prior to impacting. |
