Description

Dan was a good wingsuit base jumper and had been getting current over the last season , But he was only a novice wingsuit Proxy flyer... Dan failed to clear some trees on the line he had wanted to fly and was found still in flight mode amongst the trees with No pull..

This last year we have found that some really good wingsuit flyers have been killed learning to fly Proxy lines...

Be safe out there guys..

Friskus base has lost a good friend and all round nice guy...
