William is doing a 5-second delay from a 1000-foot antenna tower. He is wearing a harness with only a round reserve canopy and an empty main container. After a good opening strong winds blew him into one of the tower's guy wires whereupon the canopy collapsed at 300-feet. The canopy did not re-inflate prior to impact. This is the first fatality in the modern age of BASE jumping.
