| Posted: 08 Jan 2016 06:31 AM PST Date: December 26, 2015 Nationality: French Object Type: Earth Location: Le Brevent, France COD: Impact Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit Description: On December 26 at around 3:30pm ????? attempted to fly line 7 from the Brévent, one of the most western gullies accessible by wingsuit. There is a particularly nice entrance at the top of the line with a tree gate and a grassy slope that provides a visually stunning entrance but can be challenging to access. After reviewing video from ???? recovered camera, we know he impacted this grassy slope (altitude ~ 2000m) after reaching to make this point, stalled and lost flight. I'd like to preface my thoughts by saying, if family and friends of ??? are reading, that I make the following comments with the intention of sharing a potential lesson with my fellow wingsuit BASE jumpers in an attempt to save lives. It is not my intention to place blame or criticism. We participate in a sport that is still in its infancy and every lesson is extremely valuable to the evolution of our sport. That being said, The lessons learned here are not new, but perhaps an additional warning to others as more and more people will come to fly their wingsuits at the Brévent. There are four main factors that I believe are worth mentioning: - After 3:30pm, at this time of year, line 7 is in shadow with radiational cooling up slope causing katabatic flow, making an already challenging flight to that location much more difficult. - ???? was part of a two way. The other jumper exited first and took a very wide right turn while flying conservatively over open terrain, as this was his first time flying so far west. ???? exited immediately after, looked briefly at the first jumper, passed him and went straight for his line. I believe ???? held this other jumper in high regards, and he had told me earlier that day that he was excited to show him line 7. - ??? was on the phone with a third person via a bluetooth communicator. I have not spoken to the person who was on the other end of that conversation, and don't know the level of communication that was going on, but we all know talking and flying is challenging and potentially distracting. - ???? had only flown this line a few times and had not familiarized himself with the visually changing waypoints/landmarks. This was compounded with addition of snow to the terrain; simply, the mountain does not look the same when it has snow on it. We flew this line together once two days before, and he had mentioned after that he was unsure where he was before making the entrance. When we had jumped together I had briefed him at the mid station on how I count three ridges, and look for a rock outcropping on my left and judge my speed and position in reference to that point. Unfortunately we did not discuss how or when we would abort if things did not go as planned. ??? sent me a text at 3:25 saying they would jump in the next 5 minutes as I was waiting for two jumpers at the landing area. We had shuttled cars that morning, and I had opted out of the last jump of the day. After the second jumper landed we attempted to call ???? on the phone. Unsuccessful, we quickly got in my car, checked and alternate landing area, then drove to the PGHM (heli mountain rescue) to report him missing. After a brief search by the heli team, ???? was located. ??? will be missed by many in the jumping, alpine climbing, and High Mountain Military School communities. He had never ending energy, excitement and an infectious enthusiasm for wingsuit BASE jumping. I spent a lot of time with him during the last week of his life and I can say that he fit more adventure, stoke and high fives in that time than some do in a lifetime. bfl-footer footer BFL |
