Parachutist Dies After Crash Landing at the Beach
Brazil, 55-year-old parachutist G.d.O. died during a landing last Thursday. The victim was from São Paulo and participated an event that was authorized by an Institute for Biodiversity Conservation and other competent authorities. The parachutist lost control of the parachute when it was about 15 meters above the ground. The maneuver he was trying to do is known as the “low turn” and occurs when the jumper changes the direction of flight very close to the ground. The moment was captured by a witness. The victim was referred to the Regional Hospital but he could not resist the injuries of the fall. The Civil Police investigates the causes of the accident. |

Re: Parachutist Dies After Crash Landing at the Beach
I’m surprised that it killed him. Maybe its perspective but the speed and height didn’t look large enough to do him in  |

Precisely! I remember thinking the same thing about Dale Earnhardt's fatal wreck.

He clearly didn't understand the gravity of the situation.

His cool new nickname could be Sandy. If he wasn’t dead.

Re: Parachutist Dies After Crash Landing at the Beach
From the looks of it, he ran out of room to land safely (I know... it's like "no shit, Sherlock!"). Ideally he would've wanted to land with his legs being more parallel to the ground, almost like sitting, to use your feet to gradually slow down, or land on his feet and come to a running stop. I think he was going for the sitting landing and simply ran out of space, which probably destroyed his spine.

The 1% of deaths in Brazil that aren’t gun related…just a guy with an interesting hobbie. In all seriousness RIP |

Re: Parachutist Dies After Crash Landing at the Beach
When and if I ever jump, I’m going to tie a bean bag to my butt to soften my landing.
