"A 29 year old swedish BASE jumper died in a BASE jump in Stabbeskaret, Norway.

After a 180 opening, the canopy collided with the mountain and he fell down along the side of the mountain wall.

The area is forbidden for BASE jumpers since it is a very inaccessible area for rescue personel to reach, making it hard for them to rescue people."

Thanks for your condolences and thoughts. Please be patient for a while. In time both the name and the most likely cause for the accident will be released. More urgent matters need to be addressed right now.
