The trailing skydiver narrowly misses the leader as he deploys, skimming the parachute by (what appears to be) inches. This is how accidents/fatalities happen! *** How could it be prevented *** - Flying a more predictable pattern - Staying closer together throughout the jump - Getting proper separation at break-off ___________________________________ Check out for the best skydiving and BASE jumping videos on the planet.
