| Description |
Jumper was attending a Boogie and was getting recurrent after not jumping since the same boogie the previous year. He had received a refresher course before the jump including use of a BOC and flying the pattern under canopy.
On this skydive he was doing a 2 way with another experienced jumper, at exit he rushed the door and did not give separation between his group and the group in front of him. In freefall he was observed to be completing the formations until about 6000 feet where he broke off early and tracked away. He was seen falling 50-100 feet away from the previous group at 2500 feet unstable and head down. The jumper did not deploy any canopies. |
