Description
I Had jumped 30 seconds before him and in spite of having a nose wind at the exit down close to the talus it was sinking a bit. The wind wasn't strong. Just a light head wind. He was supposed to jump a few seconds after me, after landing I thought he took too much time to appear and I called other jumpers that were at the Sputnik exit. They went to the high trench exit and saw Gleison's Canopy close to the talus. They called the Air Glacier. Later the Air Glacier said that he impacted very close to the exit. Two things could have happened, he slipped at the exit and had a bad one or he just jumped too head low. He use to have head low exits.
