Description:
Hayley was last at Brento 5 years ago and she was about to do her 100th base jump here. She had recently been practicing object avoidance at the bridge in Croatia the days prior. We also talked about correcting heading before getting out of twists while gearing up for this jump.

Her previous jump from Brento was only a sub 5 second delay with slow slider. She said she needed to get more airspeed for better separation in her track. Her exit was great, good transition but then another short delay and high opening and I didn't see her canopy come out into the bowl. I don't know if it was just a 180 or line twists as well.

I heard an impact and some rock fall and thought that was it. I called ground control. A few minutes later she called me, sounding concerned but not in pain or desperate. She sounded calm considering the circumstances, she said she was feeling dizzy and needs to put down the phone.
That was the last I heard from her. From some distant rear camera footage, it looks like there was very little input made to avoid the cliff, I can only think she possibly froze or just didn't react quick enough. She was a lovely person to be around and was taking steps towards her aspirations and goals within base fully aware of her limitations and the aspects she needed to improve on.

A message from the Skydive Vancouver Island community. Haley was not only a friendly face at our DZ, but she was also family to many of our close friends on the mainland. Her sweetness and warmth will always be cherished in our hearts. She was passionate about our sport and creating a sense of community by ensuring everyone felt welcome. She was a very active member of CSPA Women’s Initiatives Committee and an advocate in our sport and her career for inclusion and support services.
