What do we believe happened?

Jumper in question is jumping the higher exit on Titlis, he has exited and his legs have gone over his back causing him to exit unstable only a few seconds later he impacts the ledge that is only a few secs after this dangerous exit.

There is a lower exit only a few mins below that does not have a ledge as dangerous as the higher exit, If you are planning on jumping the high exit remember that a bad exit at this altitude will cause your body to impact the ledge.
