Death this year

Recommended Posts

With todays... 28. I think....


Here's a real quick break down. The weird includes unknown info on jumps, the JFTC, and the water cutaway. I'm assuming both from today (:() are Canopy Collision.

Lowturns = 9
Shit Happens/gear issues = 4
Nothing out = 1
Stunts = 1
Two out = 1
Freefall/Plane/Canopy Collision = 7
Suicide/medical= 1
Weird/Unknown = 4


Students = 3
Experienced = 25



MANY thanks to Craig Paxon for hosting and everything for http://www.skydivingfatalities.info/.

Thanks, Phree.

Looks like low turns and then collisions are the top two (which may change if we find out more about the weird catagory).

Know what's hardest to acknowledge? Low turns and collisions, for the most part, are pilot errors. Which, at least to me, means they are avoidable. Which sucks. Plain and simple, it just sucks.

The sd thing about canopy collisions are that most times it kills two people instead of just one like a hook turn does. One person making a slight move early on to avoid it usually is all it takes too. Minus the 3 canopy collisions this year.. .there would be 5 less fatilities and 5 more jumpers here today still.

Keep your head on a swivel out there folks...
