Description

Description: February 6, 2013, Pierrot was equipped with the Phantom 3 wingsuit.
Weather conditions were good despite a strong layer of snow (120 cm at the top).
Pierrot was about 1400 jumps from plane (approx. 40 jumps in ws) and 170 BASE jumps (approx. 10 jumps in ws).
1St jump of the day, Pierrot had gone slightly bent legs, which didn't stop him from making a super flight.
For we had discussed. Pierrot was not happy with his jump despite what I had thought of went well. It was Pierrot afterall!
-his second jump, as to our habits we don't exchange few words. Everything is done in the quiet.
Following the authorisation of Air Glacier, Pierrot is preparing. Good jump my brother. Good jump Pierrot. Think of your legs ! a few moments later he impacted the wall..

 


Note from Pierre's wife:
hello
I am the wife of Pierre Grazon; threw with him during the accident. He was with a friend at the nose three. c 'was his second jump of the journée. Il went first. We think he had a problem with the output. a witness saw him hit the cliff. There were 200 basic jump jump jump and 1,500 aircraft. He trained airplane with the wingsuit to better aprivoiser. He did everything with maximum security. I attached a picture of stone.
