Eduardo Acosta |
| Description |
| This jumper impacted after his canopy started spiraling at a low altitude. An eye-witness report suggests that he may have been collapsing his canopy on purpose and recovering from it. After the final collapse had almost recovered, he turned the canopy sharply (this round 1200') which caused his lines to twist up with one steering toggle lower than the other initiating a spiral. He landed with just over 2 line twists still intact. No further information is available at this time. |
