Wild-ass wingsuit newbie wet

Recommended Posts

in water in an attempt to swim with goldfish.

Seriously, a young wingsuiter had a cutaway due to an entanglement between his main/riser and camera helmet.
Cutaway his main and lost his cam helmet in the process.
Landed his reserve in the channel just west of the polo field at North Shore.
Skydiver is safe, just red=faced
He was jumping a fairly new Ghost,
He did recover his main from the sea, just lost his helmet and CX camcorder.
He had watched the water training. Whether it helped or not, I don't know.
More to the story as it comes in.

He's not *that* new. With perhaps 20-30 jumps with the Ghost and several more in Prodigys, Intro's, and Phantoms prior, I'm gonna point to other things being the issue.
But he did make a bad decision that put him in the water. Glad he's OK.
