Description:

The jumper in this fatality opened at a suitable height and impacted the cliff several times, rescuers and jumpers had performed Cpr on him for an hour but was pronounced dead on the scene.

Information from jumper on the scene.
It opened about 60-70 left and then continued turning left towards the cliff, possibly a brake fire or tension knot... Hard to say.

I *think* JUMPER may have then tried to make a left turn away from the cliff but this just swung him at the cliff face a bit faster.
