Friends said it is too dark, the wind isn't right, and the water is too high. However, Roger elected to jump. He launched from the west side of the bridge and opened normally. It isn't immediately clear what happened, but shortly after landing in the water Roger and his gear disappeared below the surface. His body is found a month later by passing boaters. Roger is the first Twin Falls area BASE fatality.

Updated information 26th October 2023

Roger was packed slider-up after jumping the Perrine slider-up all weekend.  Unknown if it was an intentional decision to stay packed slider-up for the Hansen, which is a lower bridge than the Perrine, standing at 350 ft.

Roger opened for a soft landing in knee-deep moving water, unable to make glide to the landing zone, unable to fight the river current.  Unknown if his Perigee P-4 was equipped with a cutaway handle, or if he tried to use the cutaway, but he was found a month later with his rig around his knees.
