| Posted: 27 Aug 2016 08:34 AM PDT #BLiNCMagazine #BASEJump #BFL #BASEFatalityList Date: August 13, 2016 Nationality: French Object Type: Earth Location: Chapeau de Napoléon, Savoie, France COD: Impact (ledge) Clothes / Suit: One piece Tracking suit Gear / Parachute: TBD Age: 32 Experience: tbd Time of day: 7:30pm Description: Laurent jumped Chapeau de Napoléon next to Dent-de-l'Arclusaz with his onesie tracksuit and impacted in mid-track, presumably without pulling. He had been recently training mostly with his wingsuit but saying he was not current at tracking anymore would be largely implausible. This jump is a modern very positive "onesie tracking" one, lacking any sort of margin for human or environmental suboptimal parameters. Lolo was an extremely talented jumper as well as a bright minded enthusiast, thinking out of the box and coming out with innovative design concepts. His uncommon approach lead him to build his own tracksuits dubbed the "Lolo Suits". He inspired many and showed the community what what possible to achieve through the concept of single piece tracking suits (onesies). Recognized as one of the best trackers out there he achieved many lines that were before believed to be specific to wingsuits only, and notably tracked the Brévent exit in summer 2015 with his friend Veush. bfl-footer footer BFL |

After exiting 3rd, he elected to fly a left line which took him over a ridge. He didn't have the height or glide to clear it , having misjudged his position and failed to make an emergency pull, impacting in full track. For those of you who had the pleasure of meeting Lee, you could not help but notice just how much of a naturally talented BASE jumper he was. He had an effortless style, a carefree attitude and his antics and thinking outside of the box on a lot of jumps were refreshing and fun. He will be sorely missed by many.

There is a lower exit only a few mins below that does not have a ledge as dangerous as the higher exit, If you are planning on jumping the high exit remember that a bad exit at this altitude will cause your body to impact the ledge. bfl-footer footer BFL |

| Posted: 27 Aug 2016 08:17 AM PDT #BLiNCMagazine #BASEJump #BFL #BASEFatalityList Date: August 11, 2016 Nationality: American Object Type: Earth Location: Croix Des Têtes, France COD: Impact Clothes / Suit: Tracking gear worn Gear / Parachute: Apex Summit with Lobo Age: 35 Experience: Experienced Skydiver & Experienced BASE Time of day: 9:50am Description: (Katherine Donahue), or better know as Kat to the flying community, made her last human flight around 9:50 AM on August 11, 2016. The conditions in which she exited from Croix des Têtes in France were calm and peaceful. The hiking approach took a little over 2 hours accompanied by a large group of local jumpers and a few intimate friends. The moving pace was both relaxed and joyful since there was a dense cloud layer which obstructed a clear view of the landing areas below. There was no rush to arrive at the summit until weather conditions improved... Upon arriving at the exit point the groups energy became excited as the clouds parted, allowing for a majestic reveal of the stunning mountainscape around us and the entire flight path to the landing areas. The group exited the cliff at a relaxed pace while Kat, julie and myself intentionally waited to be the last jumpers. We wanted to fully enjoy the peaceful setting of being on a mountain alone. I had carried two radios with me on the hike to communicate with our group and in case of an emergency. It was decided that I would jump first, Julie second and Katlast, as she insisted she wanted to go last. I exited from the mountain, had a smooth tracking flight and windless landing. Shortly thereafter, I radioed up to Julie and Kat that the conditions were ideal, the wind was very calm and my landing pattern was from right to left at the tracker landing location. The batteries in Kat's radio died shortly after my last communication of conditions (of which I was not aware) and I saw Julie exit from the cliff with a good flight and safe canopy opening. Approximately 30 seconds after Julie exited, I witnessed Kat push off the cliff cleanly and into a steep track. I was able to clearly watch her body fly for about 7-8 seconds before it disappeared behind a ridge line that concealed a section of the jump. From my perspective, Kat appeared to be flying in a steep trajectory away from the vertical section of wall. I waited to see her emerge around a second notch in the terrain, either still tracking or under canopy depending on her flight decisions. After waiting a couple of minutes I didn't see any evidence that she had cleared the second notch and I began trying to contact her on the radio. With no response after 5 minutes I immediately ran down to where Julie had landed and we attempted to reach Kat twice on her cell phone, leaving messages and updates to our actions and concerns. It was assumed she had either pulled low and was up on the talus, unable to communicate effectively or both devices had been lost or damaged somehow. At that point we called a rescue helicopter to assess the situation from an aerial perspective. To the best of our knowledge it appears that Kat impacted the top of the first of two notches that a tracker must out fly while tracking Croix des Têtes. After examining her gear and the resting spot of her body we suspect that she died on impact without deploying a parachute or pilot chute. There seems little reason to think there was any case of bridle wrap. Both toggles were still found in the stowed position and the slider remained up. Three of her lines had been broken near the connection point to the canopy, likely from snagging on a tree or cliff edge on the top of the notch. Her initial impact is most likely what caused the parachute to come loose from the container. Based on evidence of minor tears in her track suit, grass and mud stains found on her gear (on both the interior and exterior of her container) we assume she committed to a low flight pattern and attempted to out track the first notch, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Her body then fell to its resting place at the base of the notch/waterfall with her canopy draped over her body. Due to the visibly steep angle of her track and the proximity of the notch where she impacted, she collided at high speed, suggesting no prolonged suffering. Further evidence supports this as her helmet was not found on her head, or anywhere near the body. bfl-footer footer BFL |
