    22/10/1996 Skydive Arizona, AZ CRW ?/?    
    Description: Person A was part of a 4 way CRW team. He exited 3rd and Person B exited 4th. Person B had an opening hesitation plus a 180 degree off heading openning, and they collided while Person A was front risering for the first hookup. The canopies hit first, spun, then their bodies collided. They spun for for a while, and the wrap cleared. Person A was found dead on the scene while person B was critically injured. Person B was removed from life support 6 days later, as there was no sign of brain activity.
    Lessons:Expert CRW exits carry an additional degree of risk. This is an example of how bad things can go when they really go wrong.
