He didn’t jump the day before and it was his first jump of the day. He came into packing room to ask me to jump the high nose with him. We have been doing exactly same kind of 2-way tracking jumps from high nose many times before.
Suit what he was using was new for him and he was happy because he had made couple good tracking jumps with it. He was in good mood on the hike. We had fun and lot of laughs. It started to rain just a bit on the hike and in gear up we were talking should we wait if the rain goes away but we were looking that it might get worse and both of us were fine to jump in little rain.
Joonas had some kind of sunglasses what I have seen him wearing on other jumps and he asked me:” what do you think are these going to fly off during the jump?” I said:” I don't know, maybe it can fall off if you have hard opening or something” We planned to do 2-way. Joonas took the exit from the ramp, and I was on the cliff on right side of the ramp. We agreed that Joonas will jump and fly little to the left and I will stay on the right side.
Joonas made the count and we exited exactly at the same time. He had great start and started to track right away. He slightly turned to the right in flight, and we were pretty close to each other, but I was all the time on right side and little above him, so he did not see me in flight. When it was time to pull, he was little behind and below me. When I pulled and my canopy was open, I saw him tracking past from the left side little below me.
Then he reaches his hand to his pilot chute and start falling more down. He holds his hand on the PC about for a second and then pulls. Pilot chute inflates and canopy comes out at the same time when he crashes to the tree beside the road. Canopy did not inflate. It was full speed impact.
