Description: Two jumpers collided at about 100 ft, while on final approach. The canopies entangled, and they spiraled to the ground in about 4 seconds. The deceased had finshed his last turn, and was on final. The other jumper was performing an S-turn to set up his final approach, and clipped the deceased's canopy from behind. The canopies did separate before impact, but without sufficient altitude for inflation. A paramedic was on hand within seconds, and both were helicoptered out. One died at hospital, the other is likely to survive. |
