There was a fatality at Brento on the 8th December.

Tracker failed to pass the edge of the "placche zebrata" whilst tracking left to the heli landing, it seems he did pitch but was too low.

Jumper was from central Italy, name to be added at a later date.

Proximity tracking is no joke. Please update with information about experience level, type of equipment and weather conditions when possible. I've felt some pretty strong turbulence in freefall while tracking out of the bowl before. I'd love to hear opinions from experienced locals such as yourself.

Is this the third Brento fatality in 2014?

sad to hear,...
expirienced few times massive turbulence that messed up my track,...on time that bad that it was quiet to late to do a "saftey pull"...meant then "do or die",...fortunatly worked out good....
proxytracking at the zebrata is demanding due this,...even if you are a bad ass tracker,...
