What do we believe happened?

Aude was making her first Earth jump, and from what has been reported this was her first BASE object other than the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, ID.
There were no witnesses to the incident as the exit point is small and sloping down making it impossible to see what is going on for the any of the other jumpers ready to go. What we know is that she went slider up and her body was recovered above Jeff's Knob (See BFL Jeff Barker).

Very rarely do non-wingsuiters make it past this outcropping. is that Aude opened and either had a 180 (most likely) with slow reaction time and possibly still close to the wall, or a line over causing cliff strike.
