| Description |
| Jumper had completed a 2 way freefly and was seen to fly the first portion of his canopy flight normally and was in half brakes. At his entry point into the pattern he was observed to have retunred to an arms up position but failed to make any more input until he landed with out flaring. He landed crosswind in slight wind conditions. He was wearing a Gath freefly helmet but suffered haed trama from striking the ground. Medical examination lead the pathologist to suggest he had a siezure or heart attack under canopy and that lead to his unresponsiveness. |
