Italian wingsuit fatality at Brento, deceased had trouble locating PC and went unstable, nothing out. New wingsuit (C-Race) was possibly contributing factor.

The BFL report says second jump on suit ever and second jump from Brento in it. I take it that means no skydiving on the suit and he took it straight to the cliff? Or am I misreading it?

Oh no. Not Nicola. He was on our videographer team for the POPS world meet in 2004 (or was it 2003) in Gruyères, Switzerland
