Description:
Eric had been jumping this exit for the last few days with another jumper and this was a planned two way like many before, the jumper in front landed but never saw Eric the entire jump police and rescue were called. Eric impacted the first ledge 5 sec down. He hit head first we recovered glasses and helmet parts on the second ledge . At this point his canopy was half out and he proceeded to hit 2-3 more ledges before coming to a rest in a boulder field wrapped up in his canopy.1 pin was in and PC was stowed .
No camera footage is salvageable because of the head first impact. His initial impact was 8-12 feet away from the sheer wall. This leads me to believe he had a bad exit from the wet grass and his feet went over his head putting him in a front flip / Full scorpion.
