Description

This jumper had no base training nor was mentored by anyone it was reported this jumper showed up in Lauterbrunnen and was asking jumpers to take him to any exit point so he could do his first jump he has then proceeded to Brento and died with no training whatsoever.

Most of the Information is unknown at this stage and quite possible that we will not know as this jumper was not jumping with anyone and has not shared much information except that he was in the Foreign legion. Two jumpers have been in touch stating he was on the bus with them and that he jumped in between two groups. Climbers on the wall heard an inflation and immediately noticed the canopy slowly turning back to the wall to impact again and again before coming to rest at bottom.

Please be aware that all information here can change and that this is only what has been told from jumpers who were there on the exit.

Information updated his sister contacted me and said he had 40 skydives
