Tragic news more can be read on the Daily Mail website here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/...umping-accident.html

I've removed some things that weren't related to the actual incident.

Folks, please try to keep discussions in this forum related to the specifics of the actual incident.

StealthyB, your post was related, but unfortunately it was stuck in the reply-to loop with a bunch of other stuff. My apologies for removing it, and please feel free to re-post.

I never had the chance to meet Mark in person, but I could tell from the few Emails we sent back and forth, he was super passionate, humorous, acomplished dude who had a humble way of helping others grow in the sport. It's sad that this thread, which is associated with his passing, has gone to complete shit.

I would like to eventually know if maybe there was an issue with his exit that could have put him low and unstable? Or maybe a zipper failure? A bad spot before exiting the heli? Was it a different line that hadn't been flown yet? Bad weather? I don't know, maybe it's all way to trivial now. But here's another great pilot who was on his shit, who died in his wingsuit. Maybe there is a reason other than the obvious. That's all.
