22 thats pretty sad, thoughts are with his parents and friends..

I don't know a single word of French, but stating at the translator, it seems what dougg baptized as a "no pull find"

Is it possible to know if the problem was in B.O.C. or in leg pouch?

Above all, my deepest condolences to family and friends

"A 400m deadly fall for a "base jumper"

A base-jumper who launched from the top of a cliff with a friend, at the exit of Choranche, saturday around 7.30, does a deadly fall of about 400m (1300ft).
For unclear reasons, that the police still tries to understand, his parachute did not open.
The victim, a 22-year-old men from the area of Paris, was a keen on freefall (he had more than 1 000 skydives) and was doing base-jumping, this sport where you do not jump from an aircraft but from a high fixed point like a building or a cliff, since 2 years. His body was taken in charge by the rescuers of CRS des Alpes."

I miss you already. Fly free my friend, see you soon
