Bruno Alonso

Description:
First jump in this location for both. Last year we didn’t make it due to the weather. So, this season was one of our goals. We studied the hike and the jump properly and chose a dry weather day to do it. We took the first bus up to bussalp, go with some friends to bussalp exit to see them jumping and then keep going up. Didn’t take too long to get there, waited for 20 min resting and started gearing up. Some gusts of head wind were coming but followed by calm. Shade in the wall but few meters after sunny. He decided to jump first, good push and started flying soon but seemed like sinking a bit after the 4th second. Turned left and I saw him flying to the right side of the ledge. Then he passed to the other side of the mountain so I couldn’t see him anymore. According to what the police say after seeing the footage, he started flying too low from the first part of the flight. The second section was a flatter terrain where you cannot see it from the first section. He went too low in that part realising that wasn’t going to be able to pass the second flatter section, he tried an emergency pull but not in time. Probably the head wind, high temperature and shade in the wall make us sink more than usual even with a good exit. At least felt a bit of not much power from the 4th to 9th second. Also, a bit turbulent flight due to the stronger wind at the mid-flight. Bruno was a very experienced jumper, Skydive instructor and many years of Wingsuit base and Wingsuit test pilot. Healthy and sporty guy. Taking seriously everything. He passed away doing what he loved all his life. He is going to be missed. Big hug for his friends and family
