Re: Mexican Sky Diver Crashes on Panama Beach
Some of these guys do a maneuver where they swoop in really fast close to the ground. Maybe he was trying to do that but misjudged it.

lol I'm sure he would have preferred to die in his sleep or in old age while reminiscing about his sky diving

Re: Mexican Sky Diver Crashes on Panama Beach
Making turns spills lots of air from the canopy. The canopy is called a ram air system, it basically inflates and operates like an aeroplane wing. Turn too hard, you lose speed, you drop like a stone, and the results are obvious. Never hook a turn close to the ground!
