Description
Jumper was performing a demo into a staduim and was last out of the helicopter at approx 3500 feet. The jumper attempted to pull the pilot chute from the pouch but was able to extract it. The jumper did not pull the reserve handle but appears to have been trying to remove his gloves at the time of impact.
