The helicopter arrived in the area at 17.45, and went immediately started rescue attempt. Thurs climbers from the Alpine rescue team was lowered down to the base jumper as he hung on the mountain, and they freed him. Doctors examined the hopper after he was brought down, and realized that he was dead.
Five jumpers
A total of five jumpers had planned to jump out from the mountain. The first jumper was successful, but the second was unlucky with a jump. Third Party changed their mind before the origin and is down from the mountain on foot. The deceased man was in the north twenties, and lives in southeastern Norway. He had earlier defected from the same mountain. Another two had planned parachute jumpers down from about Karlskråtind this afternoon, but when they saw what happened to his colleague, turned the halfway point.
Not enough height?
It is not illegal to parachute from Karlskråtind, as the Troll Wall in Romsdal. Karlskråtind is a very popular source location for base jumpers. There is speculation now in the hopper was not sufficient height past a source in the mountain wall, according Åndalsnes Avis.
