| Description: The deceased was visiting from his home DZ (Skydive Orange), and completed a 45 degree low front-riser turn into the main landing area, impacting without any flare, 75' shy of the pea gravel pit. Another report (from a video tape of the landing) indicates it was a 90 degree turn, and that he almost hit the peas, coming to rest right next to them. He was flying a Stiletto 120/135, and weighed in the neighborhood of 160lbs. He had a compound femur fracture and multiple internal injuries. This landing area is on a slight incline and is restricted to C-license holders and above. He was removed from life support 2 days after the accident. |
