Fernando Brito

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 08:44 PM PDT

Fernando BritoFernando Brito
Date: June 5, 2016 Nationality: Brazilian
Object Type: Earth
Location: Gavea, Rio, Brazil
COD: Bad exit due to high winds, 5-6 secs from exit
Clothes / Suit: Wingsuit - Vampire Race
Parachute: tbd
Age: tbd
Experience: Highly Experienced with Approx 320 wingsuit jumps from this site alone
Time of day: 5:00pm

Description:

Brito arrived at 02:00pm at exit point with another SD jumper. Brito was flying his VRACE and had several jumps on it. They waited at the top approximately for 2 hours because it was too windy. They decided to jump and briefing was a 2 way where Brito exiting a few seconds later would do a flyby at his friend under canopy. But Brito didn't exit and his friend called him from landing. He said winds got gusty and that he would wait. After 15 min he sends a message saying he was exiting in 3 min. After 10 min his friend called and there was no answer.
We found his body the next day, hiking because weather became too bad for choppers. He was about 200 meters below exit. Camera was found days after and showed that he had a very steep exit with his left shoulder down, kicked a while and then flipped (kinda side ways), recovered and began flying but couldn't make it.
Brito had approx 320 jumps from Gavea alone. He was simply the best of the Brazilian crew. An amazingly positive and kind person that hosted a whole lot of people from everywhere at his place. He will be deeply missed, specially by the Brazilian community.
