Description
We were on the wingsuit exit of Mt Granier. In the previous days, Nico was used to jumping a gainer with his wingsuit and did it also on this jump. The rotation seemed ok (maybe a little bit over rotated but not much).
He then didn't manage to control the suit at the end of the rotation. He lost control, did a few left and right strong turns and then hit the cliff.
Rescue helicopter was immediately called and found his body quickly under the exit. But they were only able to confirm he was immediately killed by the high speed impact.
A more detailed report will come later.
