What do we believe happened?

Csaba had close to 500 BASE jumps and jumping along with two other experienced BASE jumpers. One of the other two is doing a short delay, with camera, to film the others. Csaba launched back to earth and did not start tracking until he was very close to the outcropping of the wall. When he did start his track he realized he wasn't going to make it past the outcropping and deployed his canopy, but he impacted the cliff as his canopy was opening. The canopy did fly out over the LZ, giving the other jumpers some hope, but Csaba is already dead when help reached him. Most likely he was killed instantly in the cliff strike.
