A 29 year old man died during a jump in base-jump

The lifeless body of a man aged 29, who practiced the "base-jumping (parachuting from a cliff) and whose whereabouts were unknown for two days, was found at the foot of a cliff in Isère Friday, officials said with the mountain rescue.
The man, a professional firefighter in Lyon, was making a jump to the XXXXX when "the veil was deflected for an unknown reason", said a rescuer.
The helmet of the victim, pulled during the flight, was found several hundred feet Thursday night, but bad weather had not allowed the rescuers to specifically explore the area, it was clear from the same source.
