What do we believe happened?

Mr. Heron's associates believe part of his bridle became lodged under the lower right hand corner of his BASE rig and the result is a pilot chute in tow. This fatality caused BASE gear manufactures to better address the problem of bridle routing during hand held pilot chute jumps. If you have a picture of this jumper, his Nationality and what Span the jump was from, Please get in contact us.
