01.04.2018 Monte Brento fatality
There was a no pull fatality on Sunday at Brento.

Austrian jumper, one piece tracking suit. The jumper made a straight line conservative flight towards the main landing, he tried to deploy and then went unstable, falling into the forest approximately half way to the bar.

The above information is based on the POV video. It is unknown why the deceased was unable to deploy.

Another possible explanation to this incident is a health issue during freefall. The jumpers wife suspects this was the case.
