Description
What we are currently aware is that she has gone to this site with 2 non jumping friends and was given a PCA.
We will know more when her partner writes a full report.

Non-base jumper dropped her PC early. She was advised by her friends to switch to a 48, but she used her 42. The person who dropped her called the authorities. Puerto Rico does not have many beginner friendly exit points. This cliff, known as “Jasmines Cliff” is one of the few cliff exits in PR and is a good jump with a static line or a good PCA, but if dropped, it is catastrophic. Her body came to rest 60 feet to the left of the bottom of the exit point and she had scratching on her body so we believe she had an off heading and scraped the wall on her way down
