Description
He did a 2 way with a friend that was wearing a xxx suit. Greg jumps in front slick tracking to impact no canopy out. He was found by rescue with his pack job Infront of him still folded just opened because of the impact. We do not know exactly what happened, but the theory is he had some kind of stroke during the jump. He had an early night before, no partying, first jump of the day. None of the 2 jumpers were wearing cameras and his exit was not filmed.
