Description
Information coming from his friend who was on exit :
Wind was about 5 mph from arco, don't know which cardinal direction that is. There were some clouds at the exit, but not very thick. There were always some holes in the clouds, so everybody waited for a hole in the clouds.
My friend also waited for a hole, but a second after his exit the hole closed immediately, so I didn't see him. He was a little head low. I didn't hear his canopy opening. So I was a little worried, but thought it is everything alright and I didn't see anything through the clouds.
A short time later a rescue party was called in after he was not found at the landing area
He was found wrapped in his canopy 60 metres from the base of cliff..
