This is a report from Linus' fiancee, Linus launched from Labben during the evening of July 23th. The weather is clear and there's no wind. As usual he started to track from the wall face and out over the talus. Linus is a highly skilled tracker and his previous jump from Labben in June, this year, he made a 38 seconds delay sans wing suit. No one knows exactly what went wrong, but this is what I saw from the landing area. The canopy started to deploy at the lower point of the talus, but he impacted on the talus before the main canopy is fully inflated. He hit the wall twice in his fall and eventually came to rest at a ledge, approximately 150 meters up the talus. Within an hour, the rescue team had located him, dis-entangled his parachute, and declared him dead. Technical examination of the canopy revealed one toggle is released. Linus' injuries and the fact only one toggle is released indicates a possible 180 degree off heading opening and a cliff strike. Linus is a very experienced and skilled big wall jumper. He found his passion for BASE jumping in Romsdal, Norway, where he made his first BASE jump with an American friend in the summer of 1997. His love for BASE jumping drove him to the big walls of Europe where Linus and had some of the best moments of his BASE jumping career. He found comfort in the mountains and Linus is fascinated by the dramatic landscapes of Norway, and especially Trollveggen. He spent a lot of time in Romsdal where he and his Norwegian friends opened up many new launch points. Linus has many good friends in the BASE community. His first years of BASE jumping he shared with his good friend Thor-Alex Kappfjell, whose memory he always kept close to his heart. In June this year Linus had spread the last of the ashes of his friend John Hoover at that very same site on the Trollveggen. Linus was a very loving and caring person and he leaves a great emptiness behind
