Event happened on thursday 24 March 2005.
From a local newspaper article (translation with Google):
"Desire to fly in the vacuum at one hundred km/h for 500 meters and to open the parachute in extremis has costed the life to J. T. (name in clear in the article), 31 years, of Oslo that yesterday morning launched from Italian terminal wall exit. To betray the Scandinavian jumper it has been probably the insufficient acquaintance of the particular local climatic conditions. In fact, it has been a squall of Local wind to make to lose the control of the parachute to the young person that has ended to crash against cliffs dying on the blow. It is the sixth victim on the walls of the Xxxxxx in five years."
The above is a quick translation of the preface of the article published today on a local newspaper.
We do not have further information about the situation in which the accident developed. In case we come to know anything, we will write it here.
My deepest condolences to family and friends for the loss, it is a very sad loss for our community.
Try to stay safe anybody out there.
Peace to our fallen friend.
