Description: This was a two way jump
This report was obtained by reviewing the deceased’s helmet mounted video.
The jumper performed a 9 second delay with reasonable track. On deployment the canopy opens off heading to the right but then immediately starts rotating hard to the left, completing a rotation approximately every 2 seconds. A large tension knot between the left brake line and rear left line group is visible in the helmet video footage.
The jumper tries pumping the rear risers in turn without effect. The jumper pulls down the left and right brake toggle without effect. The canopy continues in a rapid spiral decent to the left. The jumper appears to flare the canopy and stops the rotation but then the canopy starts turning again to the left and strikes the talus. The canopy flies away but continues to rotate and this time strikes the talus head on, the jumper becomes entangled in the canopy and slides / falls down the steep talus wrapped in their canopy.
Emergency services were called and upon arrival she was found deceased.
The day after this incident another jumper had exactly the same scenario, they luckily hung up on the talus, preventing serious injury.
