Description

Jeremy was jumping with a group of people in the Magland area. He was an inexperienced wingsuit pilot when the group decided to go to a somewhat technical WS jump (Belvédère Louis Philippe). There is a good rockdrop there but if you dont fly out quickly you get confined in a narrowing gully. He has been reported to have an bad exit (sideways) then dissappeared. His body was later found in the forest under the cliff face.
