What do we believe happened?

The information that we have been given so far is that he flew a left line then turned back over the valley floor and never pulled. GoPro footage shows him jumping from Via Ferrata good clean exit, nice flight, bit on the slow side. Clearly shows a series of attempts to find and deploy the PC resulting in a failure to do so
