apparently it seems that on the same load, our Reiner1 got injured (several leg fractures reported), from a tree strike with nothing out.

BSBD mate

You always helped me when i asked for it in kjerag.

You will be missed by so many,

I can say you were one of my favourite norgies mate..

the quiet achiever..

To his family that is left behind my deeepest sympathy..

BSBD buddy..

R.I.P.

for information, the local authorities have now prohibited wingsuiting in the area.
more details in french on the french forum.

So tragic on all angles

My thoughts go out to his family and friends

about the banning: http://www.chamonet.com/events/news/chamonix-bans-wingsuit-jumps.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Clicky for Article on wing suit ban after the original article.

(Eric Fournier, the Chamonix mayor, has said the local council will "reflect on the future organisation and the securing of wingsuit jumping in Chamonix, including the compatibility with other aerial sports".)

seems they are willing to come to some sort of arrangement to have wing suits there in the future and not a permanent ban

Hate to hear it. Sad news. BSBD.

Sad indeed.
RIP.

Life is too short....have to think what's waiting on the other side..... ...
