| Posted: 18 Jul 2012 01:13 PM PDT Date: September 9, 2011 Nationality: French Object Type: Earth Location: Varan (Sallanches) COD: Impact Ledge Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit Description: Fabrice had 150 base jumps (mostly earth), 50 wingsuit base jumps (25 prodigy + 25 Firebird , Phantom). Started Base in 2009. "we decided to go to Varan arrow to jump this big wingsuit flight. Weather report was great, sunny and no wind. We wanted to do it the days before but it was too windy in altitude (exit is around 2500m).It was his 8th jump of the week. We arrived arround 10:30am at the exit, perfect conditions, no wind. We found the exit as described in the topography map as it had a canne in place. Fabrice saw a pillar on the very far right side of the exit and decided to go and see. He told me "I am going to see and come back if not good". I stayed on the normal exit, with a very bad feeling inside. We have done some more technical jumps,and this one was normal ok for us. When he arrived at the top of the pilar he said to me it was good and he was going to get prepared. I will prefer to go down but I prepared to jump as well (I was flying Xbird). Fabrice went first as he liked to jump first. I saw the beginning of his jump, normal without problem. He passed behind the corner of the wall, and I heard a big noise (as canopy opening) then a second very loud noise.. he was found by rescue paramedics 15 mins later lying down on a ledge as in flying position, canopy over him, lines out of tailpocket . Impacted ledge on line stretch... Fabrice was one of my best friends, and we have jumped a lot together since he started. He got into the habbit to follow us, and perhaps he was missing some of his reflexes, some self basic rules. This day he forget them or didn't realize that a rock fall test would be necessary to survive. Sometime you can't go over destiny, it was that day. I am really sad and shocked, because I would be taking him back home as we have done many times before. Nothing could change that, never. It is a big loss for all of us but mainly for his wife Michèle and his family. Jérôme Update: The rock drop in Varan is 7", and 200m rock drop is severe technical, non adapt and dangerous for beginners Please if anyone can learn from this fatality it is to jump within your limits... Dont push so fast to be jumping technical sites, take the time to understand everything before progressing to the next exit/wingsuit/jump or even object.. bfl-footer footer BFL |

| Posted: 18 Jul 2012 09:42 AM PDT Date: September 16, 2011 Nationality: Slovenian Object Type: Earth Location: High Nose, Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland COD: Low-Pull Clothes / Suit: Tracking Suit Description: Valentina jumped the high nose in her tracking suit, jumpers on the exit point recalled her having a stable exit but just did not get her track on,She impacted last ledge close to the talus. Because she pulled before the ledge, canopy opened and she hit it once or twice (ledge) and ended up on the talus. 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: 18 Jul 2012 08:35 AM PDT Date: May 06, 2011 Nationality: German Object Type: Earth Location: Chamonix, France COD: Impact/ low pull Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit Description: The below is an account of Mirko's fatality. Quote: What we had planned: An evening jump from cliff (Chamonix area). 8 jumpers on the hike / jump. On the way up we discussed the possible lines we could fly. Half way up, we stopped to check the options, and decided which line each of us would fly. Three of us decided to fly the far left line over the paragliding start area. A camera was set up with my wife and Edo's girlfriend at this position. All the jumpers decided to also fly the left line, but after the black ridge, turn right and fly some tree lines or gorges (This is a steeper, shorter and safer line which allows for some nice terrain flying). After two hours we reached the exit point, where the weather conditions were great. No wind, just a light breeze and partially sunny. We all got geared up and ready to jump, during which time Mirko mentioned that he was tired. He was quiet, but this was more than likely due to the long hike we had made. Despite this, he was very positive about the jump, gearing up quickly and in a happy manner – just being typical Mirko. What we saw (facts): From the exit point Mirko jumped as the last jumper of a 3 way group. His exit was good, leaving a longer separation between him and the jumper before him – this was to allow him to have nice clean exit in front of him. His start was a bit slow, but nothing out of the ordinary, and gave us no cause for concern. Mirko flew with decent speed until he disappeared from view behind the pillar on the left, just like all the other flyers of the 3 way group had done. What the girls saw from the ground: They saw the 3 way coming and at one point the last flyer turned to the right. They saw the flyer disappear behind the ridge. After the first and second jumpers canopies opened, Mirko, nor his canopy could be seen. After we landed we realized that Mirko was missing. Heli search & rescue was informed and the helicopter came very quickly to begin a search. After a solid hour, they couldn't find him, so a ground search was started, organized by the Mountain police. They worked through the night, but still could not find Mirko. At first light the next morning, the helicopter was again used to search from the air. They found his body and recovered him. Mirko was found high up in the gorge saddle, before the tree line. His canopy had been opened, lines were out of the tail pocket, stretched and the toggles were on the risers. The shrivel was pulled on the bridle, indicating that the canopy was not out due the impact, but that Mirko had attempted to deploy. The area he was found in was impossible to see from the exit point. The doctors confirmed he died from massive head trauma as a result of impacting with the wall at speed. Although Mirko was wearing a camera, it was not found or recovered. What we believe happened: The left line requires a quick decision and reaction after turning at the pillar as the black ridge stands there like a fence. If a jumper decides that he can't make it over the ridge, they must immediately make a right turn to avoid being over the trap. It is possible that Mirko found himself lower than expected and took too long to decide if he could make it over the ridge or not. By the time he had made the decision, his ability to fly the alternate line had gone and he would have found himself too close to the ground and wall, impacting during an attempted deployment. footer BFL |

| Posted: 18 Jul 2012 08:18 AM PDT Date: October 21, 2011 Nationality: French Object Type: Earth Location: Haute Savoie, France COD: Bridle Hang Up Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit Description: Antoine went for his 3rd wingsuit cliff jump to a very technical jump in the Sixt area involving flying a long turn and passing under power lines. His body was found dead on a ledge under the power lines, entangled in his bridle. He was flying a S-Bird. Given his lifestyle and accomplishments, it's hard to figure out why he decided to start wingsuiting on his own as he had many friends in the WS base-jumping scene. He was a top-level athlete, very experienced in many aerial sports and has been managing risks in remote alpine environment for years. He will be greatly missed here, but we can be pretty sure that he's now inventing new sports with his brother up there in the sky. Quote: Antoine was one of the most accomplished athletes in his sport. Born into a family of sportsmen, Antoine grew up in the wide open country between the Lake Geneva and the Alps, and learned to ski from the moment he could walk. He soon got a taste of the wealth of outdoor activities that such an open environment offered. Antoine was just nine years old when his older brother, Valéry, an experienced hang-gliding and paragliding pilot and a pioneer in speed riding who was killed in an accident in 2006, introduced him to paragliding. He instantly caught the bug and soon became an experienced pilot. After becoming a certified instructor in skiing and paragliding, his love of the mountains and his insatiable appetite for thrills led him to the top of these two sports. What he loved most of all was to be in the mountains, climbing up the slopes ready to make his descent by whatever means available: extreme skiing, base jumping or speed riding. His talent was matched only by his imagination for ways to get back down to the valley floor. Even though he achieved some amazing feats, Antoine's exploits in alpine skiing were not widely known. But unlike many extreme skiing purists, Antoine was first and foremost an inventor. He liked finding unlikely routes and blending types. footer BFL |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT Date: November 15, 2011 Nationality: American Object Type: Earth Location: Rock Canyon - lower exit, Utah COD: Impact / Hard landing Clothes / Suit: Normal clothes Description: Holly was BASE #1367 This is the only account of the incident as Holly was jumping alone. external witness report from The Salt Lake Tribune Quote: I was hiking in the canyon and saw her fall. I heard the sound of her parachute opening. Her parachute appeared to open all the way but unfortunately not in time to avoid a fairly hard landing. She rolled and slid about 20 feet down a steep slope before coming to a stop. There was no movement for a few minutes but then I saw her sit up and then lay back down again. Rescuers arrived in the canyon in just a few minutes and it took another 15 minutes or so to hike to where she was. A biker had already hiked up to her while I directed the rescue crew to the right spot. When the biker came back down, he said she was breathing but couldn't get a response from her. The rescue crew performed CPR but were unsuccessful. The most frustrating part was that she came so close to making a good jump. Her chute was open but she was about 3/4 of the way down when it did. She needed just a few more feet. It did seem to me to be a rather short cliff to make such a jump but I have no experience. The margin for error seemed to be very small. footer BFL |
