Description
The following is from a report translated from Italian. A 25 year old boy from Firenze, (Florence) has deceased after a parachute launch off the peak of Monte Brento. The young man had reached Thursday evening the top of the mountain and launched himself into the empty space. But the parachute did not open and the boy has smashed himself onto the ground after a flight of 800 meters. The body has been found this morning by alpine rescue team and firemen, alerted during the previous night by young man's relatives, worried by the fact that his mobile phone was not answering.
