Description:

This was a static line jump. He climbed over the rail and stood with his upper body sideways to the left of the jump direction He jumped in a rotation to the right, got hung with his foot on the rail what caused a head low over rotation to the right. He had a 130 degree off heading to the right and flew into the wall. He fell 60 meters down to the first ledge with his canopy facing the wall. There he got hung up for about 1 min. Until he fell the last 70 meters down.
Jumper was wearing a hand cam mounted which may have distracted him or cost him some time in terms of reaction and correcting the off heading.
This exit is very uncomfortable and difficult to stand there if you climb over the rail.
