Marvin Taffin

Yesterday morning we woke up early and didn't party the night before, so we were feeling great. We then met with the Spanish crew at 7.30am, due to car issues we ended up walking up to exit around 7.30am.

3 of us on exit, first jumper jumps and throws a gainer and opens with no issues and then lands on the big field underneath.
Marvin decides he is feeling good and wants to exit, he threw a gainer, but this was too quick and over rotated so he decided to throw in another and then threw the pilot chute but has came out and wrapped in a bow style around his leg and then as he further rotates the bridle starts to wrap around his body. The other jumpers rush to Marvin but there is nothing anyone can do Marvin was killed on impact.
The other two jumpers rushed to Marvin and seen that he had been killed on impact and there was nothing they could do. They noticed that Marvin had managed to free the bridle but wasn't quick enough, the jumpers could see that the bridle had now been released and that one pin has popped on impact but no canopy out.

Marvin was a really good guy with so much energy, happiness, pure passion for the sport and beautiful all round person, we will miss him.
