Local rescue workers say the jump is a two-way and Wolfgang is doing camera. They didn't say specifically what is the cause of the accident. As this is the second BASE fatality here in two weeks the Swiss BASE Association is asking all BASE jumpers to refrain from visiting the area as they iron out problems with authorities and the media.

Update from jumper on the 2 way:
Cause of the accident: stupid plan / not thinking

plan: I do a 5 sec. delay – Wolle wanted to film my opening if there is enough time to catch it on video

jump: I did 5 sec. delay – Wolle tried to film my opening and impacted during his opening (lines completely out of the pocket – canopy open after impact)

….once again: the mistakes are made already before the jump….

doing camera = bad (not perfect) tracking : filming a 5 sec. delay incl. opening @Staubbach is not possible…

we had enough experience to know that before!

May be an extra negative effect caused by jumping a camera system from a TV station and not his own helmet (his own helmet was much better – incl. the video quality)
(Bicycle helmet with a camera on the front – not very stable on the head – and a cable to the recorder on the belly)

– I thought this system looks a little bit dangerous – BUT I SAID NOTHING…

He is missed everyday.....

If you see something say something!!!
I live with it everyday...
