What do we believe happened?

He impacted the wall pretty hard an the canopy collapsed as he fell down several hundred meters. He came to rest all the way at the slope grassy area right under exit 6, where he jumped from.
Rescue teams were with him within the hour where he was confirmed dead due to severe injuries.
