What do we believe happened?

Description: It was his last day of a Brazilian BASE trip. He made 21 jumps during two weeks including one in Gávea (the first of the trip) and this jump was done in terrible conditions, raining a lot and a bit of cloud but he had no problem. After he went to another state in Brazil where he did 20 more good jumps. He came back to Rio and supposed to do his last jumps on the 20th cause of his flight back home (EUA) which would of been on the 21st. He hiked Gávea with two other wingsuiter's and the plan was to do a three way. As the exit is limited he was the first to jump followed by the other. He jumped too head down, this was his only mistake, when he recovered a good flight position he was pointing to the left and the ground to this side is higher and flatter and wouldn't be possible to fly over. He managed to turn to the right and started flying pretty stable and with good speed from above it looked like he was going to make it. Suddenly he turned to his back and impacted immediately. He was too low and didn't even had time to pitch hitting the ground full at high speed.
