Location: Tre cime di Lavaredo, Italy
COD: Canopy Strike
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes

Description:
(Note: This fatality has just come to light in March of 2006)
This jumper had one previous BASE jump, an unstable head down launch from the same site, with the same gear, a week prior to his fatality.
His second, and last BASE jump, is in clear WX conditions and light winds.
Antonio is wearing a skydiving rig with a Pegasus canopy and a large hand held pilot chute. However, he elected to tie his slider down for a planned six-second delay.
The canopy opened with a half line twist and hit the wall whereupon it began a series of wall strikes and collapses.
(This report was supplied by friends of Antonio who wanted to make sure he was remembered. Antonio left a wife behind.)
