Sean was a long time and well known British BASE jumper and not much is know at this point except early reports are saying Sean hit the dam at some point during the jump. While dams have been popular BASE objects for a long time Sean has become the first BASE jumping fatality to occur from one. The weather conditions were good and the winds were 0-2mph across the dam. Hubert jumped first and had a perfect on heading opening. I went second and also had a good opening. Sean had a 90+ degree off heading to the left, but the canopy then apeared to surge left again as it started to fly - into the Dam wall. It was a full body impact, the canopy remained partially inflated, but he fell 80ft+ awkwardly onto some railings. He did not have enough time to react, but he never gave up.
