Description:
Weather conditions were good and after checking their gear the 2 jumpers dressed and went to the exit, both had flown this exit numerous times before. The first jumper landed safely and waited for Alessandro (Bana) to check in as he planned to fly a different line to the right.
The first jumper raised the alarm after being unable to contact Bana. The rescue helicopter found him on the terrain under the exit point, at this point the most likely scenario is a problem at exit / or hitting the wall soon after exit.

Bana was a solid and cautious BASE jumper, hiking down many times when he didn’t like the conditions and was very safety focused. One theory, from the the jumper who was with him was that he exited immediately to the right and in combination with a poor exit lost control and hit the wall (similar to what happened to Paddy Frenchman) - This is just conjecture for the moment but it doesn’t hurt to remind all pilots >
ALWAYS EXIT THE CLIFF before you turn to your line, the 100 feet you save makes no difference and just adds extra risk. Push out straight, get your suit fully inflated and gain some airspeed before turning.

Bana was wearing a camera and gps but these were lost during the crash. If new information is discovered it will be added here later.https://tg24.sky.it/.../08/12/basejumper-morto-belluno...
