What do we believe happened?

After a Weekend on the spot with other wingsuiters, Bryan decided to enjoy the place alone for the whole week, living in his truck, saying that place was a wingsuit paradise.

His body was recovered the next Saturday. According to forensics death occurred 5 days earlier. No witness. He was found at the bottom of the 1st "card" (in that line you fly proxy around peaks named "cards"), entangled in his lines, PC out. He seems to have pulled low in an emergency situation.
