Description:

The last 2 days before the accident I did 4 jumps with Théo and his new Aura2. From 3 different exit point. He previously flew nice, good start, good glide, speed ok.On Wednesday morning we went to Sans Bet, We were 3 wingsuiters and one speed flyer.
Theo had done this jump 5 days ago. He did a really nice and safe jump, high over the ground and nice glide.

He didn't want to do proximity flying, he wanted to fly high because he was a beginner with this suit.Speed flyer took off 5 mins before we jumped. The conditions were perfect. We did a 3 way, Theo started first because he had less experience than us. Adri and I went straight on the right, Theo pushed straight and turn right after.
He did a better start than 5 days ago at the same spot. So he turned a bit earlier on the right. With his good start he didn't take much speed and started to fly glide max over the ground (maybe 100m over).
He lost his speed slowly and didn't realise he was losing speed.
When he started to stall it was too late and too much on the right. He had not enough experience with this suit to realise he was losing speed...
