Description:
This jump was a two way with both jumpers jumping slider down. Jorge jumps first and has a short delay with canopy opening and no issue. The second jumper does a gainer and when pitching has his bridle and pc entangled around his body this causes his delay to be longer than the first jumper and he then impacts into Jorges's canopy.
At this time the second jumpers bridle wrap becomes untangled, and his canopy opens, and he flies away, but Jorge's canopy has issues and doesn't reopen, and Jorge impacts below exit a hundred feet below killing him instantly.
The Brazilian community and surfing community will deeply miss Jorge with his great personality and always excited to be jumping and surfing.
