Description
Marilyn's last jump is from a technically difficult waterfall. Apparently she went off unstable, caught her feet in her lines during deployment, had an off heading opening, and then experienced a wall strike. She was very much loved and respected by the community of jumpers in Brisbane and elsewhere.
