Description:

It's a 250 meter wall, with a ledge just below the exit, a running exit or a very strong push is needed to clear. Jumper went solo, slider up.
Relatives on LZ report seeing him clip the wall with his feet shortly after exiting, and deploying but hitting the wall as the canopy deployed, sliding down the wall all the way to the bottom. First responders found him alive and conscious and evacuated him to the nearest first aid facility, where he later died from injuries before the ambulance could arrive.
