    Bad News

    Coombsey is a very experienced and well known BASE jumper with over 1000 jumps and he's instrumental in training many of first time BASE jumpers in Norway where he died last week. He was 30.

    I don't have more information regarding the circumstances at this time.

    A friend is gone but it is sure his many friends, and students he's mentored, will forever keep his memory alive.

    It seems he was trying to fly very close to the wall and hit it...

    Thanks for the link man!

    Coombsey was indeed flying close to the wall and it seems he didn't make it over a hill far down and close to the ground - so went in terminal, no pull, just didn't make it...

    Not sure if he was wearing a wingsuit or just pants.
