What do we believe happened?

J.T. is doing aerials. After completing those aerials he encountered stability problems that led to a late deployment and a wall strike. Here is a rough translation from the Italian press. Desire to fly in the vacuum at one hundred km/h for 500 meters and to open the parachute in extremis has costed the life to J. T., 31 years, of Oslo that yesterday morning launched from Italian terminal wall exit. To betray the Scandinavian jumper it has been probably the insufficient acquaintance of the particular local climatic conditions. In fact, it has been a squall of local wind to make to lose the control of the parachute to the young person that has ended to crash against cliffs dying on the blow. It is the sixth victim on the walls of of Italy in five years. If you have a picture of this jumper please contact us
