Date: February 26, 2012
Nationality: Brazilian
Object Type: Earth
Location: Montserrat (Aeri Cliff), Spain
COD: Low-Pull / Impact
Clothes / Suit: Tracking suit

Description:
The jump was a slider up tracking jump.
This wall has a ledge at about 8 secs which you cannot out-track, recommended free-fall time is around 5 secs. The jump was a 2-way, Sergio went first. This was his 2nd jump from this cliff within a few days. Sergio had a slightly unstable exit which turned his body to the right.

According to pics taken in free-fall by the jumper behind him he stayed in this position for several seconds before slowly recovering to a straight position
and then started to track. He deployed his canopy at about 7 secs and impacted the ledge during the opening of the canopy. The canopy did fully inflate but never really started to fly, he impacted the ledge several times before coming to a stop.

Emergency service was called immediately by witnesses on the ground and a helicopter arrived about 30 mins later but the doctor who was dropped could only determine the death
of the jumper. His injuries confirm a high-speed impact, he died immediately.

Our thoughts and good vibrations are with his family, his wife and his son
