It’s not like a typical gear check that happens before you climb out. No, this one happens in the door and is usually performed by a friend who sees your d-bag and lines trailing out of your container. It consists of someone yanking you back in the plane [...]More... by iLoveSkydiving |

Not enough distance from high nose, off heading and impacted wall.. Jumpers should be aware that although High nose has been jumped by many people with intermediate tracking skills, this exit is classed as a wingsuit and experienced trackers only. Please be aware of your own abilities know how to track and pull at a safe altitude. bfl-footer footer BFL |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2012 01:15 PM PDT Jurij GraciovDate: July 03, 2005 Nationality: Russian Object Type: Earth Location: Chartreuse, FRANCE COD: Strike (Canopy) Clothes / Suit: Normal clothes Description: 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. I'm very appreciated u for keeping memories about this great people: bfl-footer footer BFL |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2012 12:46 PM PDT Dave "Cable Dave" Karaffa BFL #170 Date: July 7, 2011 Nationality: Czech republic Object Type: Earth Location: Via Ferrata, Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland COD: Impact Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit Description: first hand account from Vick Fearless We jumped a 2-way wingsuit from the Via Ferrata exit I was on the left side with a v4 he was on the right with an X-bird I jumped first so I did not know what happened later on witnesses told me that he had a good exit and after like 2 seconds he started to turn to the wall and he impacted the ledge under the exit on full speed the canopy came out on impact it gave me some hope because i did not see how it happened but when rescue reached him they told me he had no chance. New information: There seem to be a potential problem with asymmetric arm wing inflation on the early X-Birds versions. Many jumpers experienced unexpected turns just after exit. The size and location of the air inlet seem to be the major factor involved. There is a video of such incident here Cable Dave's last jump was looking similar in dynamics, it's highly suspected that his left wing experienced the same inflation issue. Given the distance he was from the first jumper, it's not yet possible to say if the turbulence of the first WS played a role or not in that inflation process, but it's very not likely to be the main factor. bfl-footer footer BFL |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2012 12:39 PM PDT William Harmon BFL #XXX Date: April 11, 1981 Nationality: American Object Type: Antenna Location: Suffolk, Virginia, United States COD: Strike (Canopy) Clothes / Suit: Normal clothes Description: William is doing a 5-second delay from a 1000-foot antenna tower. He is wearing a harness with only a round reserve canopy and an empty main container. After a good opening strong winds blew him into one of the tower's guy wires whereupon the canopy collapsed at 300-feet. The canopy did not re-inflate prior to impact. This is the first fatality in the modern age of BASE jumping. bfl-footer footer BFL |

| Posted: 14 Jun 2012 08:11 AM PDT Markus Wyler BFL #184 Date: May 19, 2012 Nationality: Swiss Object Type: Earth Location:Via Ferrata, Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland COD: No pull, Wingsuit Description: Unstable at pull time , He is a very experienced base jumper and was a leader in the valley for keeping good relations between the base jumpers , media and locals also is part of the Swiss Base Association (SBA), Numerous jumpers have said that he is the most meticulous and safety conscious Jumper they have ever come across and is a huge shock to the jumping commmunity in switerland.. Quote: update from Mäthu / SBA So, here is what happened: Markus jumped the Via Ferrata alone in late afternoon and in calm conditions, no turbulence. He was flying his Apache that he had been using for quite a while already. He felt comfortable in the suit - that's what he told me on several occasions during the weeks/mon[FOOTNOTE][/FOOTNOTE]ths before the accident. A credible eye witness saw Markus flying left after the exit along the wall towards Lauterbrunnen. He was flying stable and with a very impressive glide. At about two thirds of the way to the waterfall and still very high up he initiated a right turn to separate from the wall. After about 70-80 degrees and while still turning he suddenly went steep, respectively nosedived, which resulted in an abrupt "frontflip". The exact kind of flip/rotation and in which position he came out of it cannot be said with enough certainty. After this flip he could have recovered easily as he was still very high. Instead he was tumbling towards the ground as if he was unconscious: no trying to recover, no struggling, no flat-spinn, nothing, just falling like a stone with flapping fabric on it. This tumbling part of the flight was also seen be another witness. Moreover, the coroner mentioned that the body was "unusually relaxed" and not stiff like other bodies of basejumpers that he had treated, supporting the presumption that Markus was unconscious. Markus impacted the field west of the bridge near the waterfall with nothing out and died instantly. We inspected his gear and it is obvious that the pilot chute was still in the BOC when he impacted. Everything on the gear looked okay, including the wingsuit. What caused the abrupt nosedive resulting in a flip we will never know exactly. Our assumptions are: 1) Markus suffered a sudden health problem, be it a heart attack, a stroke or just a momentary black out. 2) The wingsuit stalled during the turn, went into an aggressive nosedive and with a resulting negative AoA flipped Markus abruptly, rendering him unconscious. This theory could be backed by the fact that Markus' flightpath was considered "very high", meaning he must have been close to stall speed on the polar curve, invariably leading to the danger of a dynamic stall while turning. Additionally, by design a large wingsuit such as the Apache is more prone to radical stall behaviour. That is all we could find out. footer BFL |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2012 07:29 AM PDT Darren Newton BFL #24 Date: May 20, 1992 Nationality: English Object Type: Building Location: UNITED KINGDOM, London COD: Strike (Canopy) / Normal clothes Description: Darren is doing a direct bag jump and the bag holder dropped the bag. The resulting 180 deployment put Darren into the building. He is jumping a sponsored canopy and carrying a box of Milk Tray chocolates in an attempt to emulate an advert running at the time where a mysterious bloke did extreme things to deliver the chocolates. ********* UPDATE FROM BASE#229 BELOW ********* The jump was from a hotel in London (300'). Darren He went without his mentor and took along with him some DZ friends to watch. Method of deployment was Pilot Chute Assist. Using a modified Pursuit 230 in a sky diving rig which had been loaned to him. He exited very head down with the canopy deploying between his legs and opening 180 and surging into the building front. The canopy surged and stalled repeatedly, from studying the video post jump Darren was probably unconscious or killed on the first impact and was declared dead on the scene. He had been advised a number of times to sort his exits out as his previous 3 jumps were all head down . Jumping this Hotel was for the more experienced. He was 25 years old If you have a picture of this jumper please contact us    bfl-footer footer BFL |
