What happened
Licensed jumper (about 270 jumps) on his third jump of the day, a wingsuit jump. He released his main canopy at about 1,000 m and deployed the reserve; witnesses said it inflated but he could not steer it, reportedly because of a problem with its lines. It turned to the right and he hit the ground outside the airfield. The PKBWL opened an investigation.
