Description

Ricki did a 5-6 second freefall and opened the canopy facing the direction of Lauterbrunnen . The canopy opened straight (facing direction Lauterbrunnen). Afterwards she didn't turn the canopy and was flying parallel to the cliff. After a few more seconds she Impacted the tallus and slid down....!
