Description of Jump:
Asked if he was good he said "I'm ready to rock" slapped hands fist pump. Have a good jump. Sean didn't like being on the rail together at the same time. I stepped over and a car came by. He ducked down I pretend to inspect weilds car definitely didn't even look at us lol. Then I stepped back over the rail. Looked at him said you good he said yes. I did a count and exited. Flat turn into wind if any finished flare. Started packing in stash bag. Heard the railing ring. Heard him yell then heard impact. Sean Died on impact. Parachute was under him like a tard. No line stretch. Bridal and pilot chute was across his chest. Bridal wrapped around his leg. I've almost made this mistake myself. I was about to jump last to exit bird flew in my path and landed underneath me I looked at my crotch to see bird land and noticed what I did then fixed it. I often will route my bridal between my legs and tie off as a good habit. So I step over the rail putting all gear behind me.
