Very rough translation from:

it would seem that a fatal accident it spent Saturday after-mide bridge located in the Center of France, a 32 year old parachutist (let us remain with conditional) would have found death without the causes of the accident précisement being known, it would have been accompanied by a 37 year old comrade for whom the jump would have been held normally.
While waiting to draw from the lessons of this accident our thoughts go to its close relations........

It would seem that the person carried out its first jump and that the strap of the extractor passed to him under the arm. It was badly positioned from the beginning or the person it made a parasitic movement with the impulse having entrainé this situation??!

I think the BASE jumpers just want to know if there was an accident.
Why would it be kept a secret?

It doesn't appear that anyone is trying to keep it a secret. The french jumpers seem to have been pretty open about it in their forum. Just because they don't come over to our forum, and post news about it in a foreign language doesn't mean there was a cover up.

Look at it this way: When was the last time you or I logged onto the French board to report an accident in California--in French?

Hello, I too am curious about this incident. It seems that a first timer had a bridle hang up, resulting in a fatal accident. Can someone in Europe help us out with details and facts?
