I suspect these two accidents reported by DFV German Sport Parachute Association are the same one because
1) several sentences are exactly the same
2) the August 31, 2015 accident is not listed at Dropzone 2015 Europe https://www.dropzone.com/fatalities/2015/europe/
3) I cannot yet verify a skydiving accident in this time frame involving a 56-year-old German.
However I have a report of a serious paragliding injury to a 56-year-old (nationality unknown) from August 29, 2015 out of Camelas, France. http://www.lindependant.fr/2015/08/29/un-parapentiste-se-blesse-a-l-atterrissage,2077075.php
Perhaps there were two separate skydiving accidents but the information appears confused and co-mingled.
Any help toward the accuracy of the global database is appreciated.

Also, the Dropzone fatality database appears to have broken in 2018.
I am unable to make contributions by posting.
