TomAiello 25 #1 July 19, 2005 Initial report in incident forum here. This was an experienced jumper who had been jumping the site for several years. Name has not yet been made public. Since this description could fit a number of people, if you are a concerned friend, drop me a PM. This jumper reportedly did not have a mohawk.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #2 July 19, 2005 Reliable reports are that the jumper was wearing tracking pants and jacket, and was intentionally very low. He then had trouble with the pitch, and deployed too low.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 25 #11 July 19, 2005 Exit 6. When you're that low, a fumble of less than half a second can be bad, bad news. I don't know if the jump was a solo or not.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandev 0 #12 July 19, 2005 Exit 6 is it the most popular exit point that you see in all the videos? Sorry, just trying to visulize where incident happened.. Also, i have read in the post that a guy trying out pressuirzed pants said that on 2 jumps they turned him back twards the wall. Could tracking pants attribute to fumbling at pull time?
