| Description |
| Reports suggest this jumper had a very hard opening that did damage to him or his equipment or both. Eye-witnesses saw him in a coming down in a corkscrew spiral under his inflated main canopy. He appeared lifeless and unresponsive right after his parachute deployed and kept spiraling until he impacted the ground. There is a possibility that he very well might have been unconscious or dead prior to impact. It was his first solo jump. |
