3 non fatal accidents in 2 days in Lauterbrunnen
May 1st. High nose. My friend and I had been jumping all week, he was tracking with phoenix fly gear. Most of his jumps that week he had a nice track, some were kind of steep. The day of the accident he had two out of four exits that were very steep and he wasn't tracking very far. On the walk back we talked about it and he realized he was steep. On the next jump he had another steep exit and didn't track very far, he pulled at a reasonable altitude had a 180 and was too close to the wall to turn. He hit the wall three times and landed on the talus. He broke his pelvis. The heli got him very quickly. I spoke with him today and he should make a nice recovery. Fuck the finns!!!
May 2nd The second accident I don't know to much about I only saw the heli and talked to some people, but I think a french jumper may have broken his arm.
Shortly after that a jumper that I hade been jumping with this week
jumped from the high nose flying a profly wingsuit with a Trango canopy and had a line over and spiraled very quickly into the ground he was complaining of back pain and went to the hospital for xrays.
His L1 was fractured. his pack job was no different than normal and someone commented that the one he used on the jump was perfect.
And his pull position was good.
