Description: The fatality in question occurred around midnight, visibility was good with the slightest of tailwind.
The jump had been planned beforehand to arrange everything on the ground before climbing so to minimise the time spent on the object, there was no security or people around we decided to prepare the static line at the car.
Once at the exit we set up the static line, we put a rope with the break chord amd we tied the maillion that was in the bridle.The rope was on the handrail because the exit platform was a but sharp and could possibly cut.
when we were ready i remain on his left side , we did the rig check and from my side i could see the pins and the break cord, i never thought that this mistake could happen. After that he did the countdown and he jumped.
then i could see him turning to the right and falling with arms ready to receive the toggles until the end. I didnt understand anything, i checked the break chord had worked. i climbed down and saw him laying dead and at this moment i realised the mistake.
He introduced the bridle through the leg strap, the mistake cost him his life.
He will be remembered for his desire to live, his smile and generosity. fly high Ruben now the sky is yours.
