Description
This is the first death of a BASE number holder. Frank had a total malfunction while static lining from 330-feet. A pull-up cord is later found left in the closing loop of his container. Frank, who for the times is an experienced BASE jumper, made everyone realize even the experts required a pin check prior to launch.
