Description

The weather was ideal. Light winds, perfect conditions.
Mario had flown the line before successfully and it was not, for a pilot of his skill level, a challenging line.
Steph exited first, Mario second. Mario did not arrive at the LZ and shortly afterward the rescue efforts began, and were completed quickly. No BASE jumper witnessed the accident, and no information was gained from the rescue personnel.
