Below is an internet translation from a French BASE jumping web site. Right now it sounds like a turn on opening and a wall strike. Our friend died yesterday morning in the Chartreuse Nature Park. He exited last of a group of five people. He may have hit a plateau during deployment, ending up dead under canopy. Jurij had completed several hundred BASE jumps. We lost a dear friend, and the Foreign Legion lost a brother-in-arm..
New Update from his brother:
this is a short video about him. Im very appreciated u for keeping memories about this great people:
