Alexey was the second jumper in a multiway, he had a bad exit and impacted ledge 5 seconds after. Perhaps he slipped (there was previous rainy days) after exit he was head down and impacted ledge , he had no time to react and he died immediately from numerous injuries his canopy came out of container on impact. Air glacier retrieved his body and equipment soon after incident.
Alexey was an experienced base jumper and as founder of Airglide he made his own equipment (container and mono suit ) himself - it was in good condition. In BASE jumping even the most insignificant mistake can become fatal and the high ultimate is one of the dangerous exits even for excellent performers. The raccoons family and friends will never forget him.
