Description
Information coming from the jumper on exit watching the entire sequence of events.
This was to be Paula’s first terminal tracking jump - slider up.
Super stable exit, but does not really get the track going, so she did not come over the island in the middle of katthammaren she went between the ledge on the right and the island and impacted in between.
My guess is that her visuals were at the landing and that she did not see the ledge coming.
Makes emergency pull, has about 2 sec under canopy (180 opening) before impact.
She was super experienced skydiver and a very safe jumper always, really hard for any of us to understand how this happened, because this was her first jump from a slider up cliff, and among us who knew her we know she is a high puller, and never pushes the limits.
