What do we believe happened?

"We were in Switzerland, we made this jump many time before, no complications compared with some that we have these days back. It was a Three way Alvaro was second and me after Him. We were flying near the wall, but in a "safety way" , and you see that at some point it has come too close, seemed about to hit a part of the wall that was more prominent, he has turned to avoid that, but has made the turn too sharp and minced, as when rotating a plane and goes some head down... He could not regain that ground has played with the slope and impacted ...

This is coming from his Beautiful friends

Today we lost a very dear friend. A free spirit, a very big heart and a good and humble man. Alvaro was an athlete of life and has gone doing what he loved most: fly ... and for those who were privileged to know him, his absence leaves a void that can only be closing very slowly, with the memory of his smile.

The men are braver when they imagine that they have nothing to lose, you liked you live as you have lived, in capital letters. But now life has made a jog unexpected.


We can not control our feelings picking the object of our love, and you loved what you loved. So we know that wherever you are, You will keep repeating those words to the wind that always wore your father with you:"Living is not only exist, but exist and create.Knowledge enjoy and suffer, and don't sleep without a dream.Rest ... is to begin to die. "

Sometimes we lose the memory of the words but not the memory of emotions. So Alvaro, You will live forever in our hearts.
