Believed to be a Russian( Evgens Chernatskij) in a Tracking suit...
Trentino, morto base-jumper: difficile il recupero del corpo - Dal territorio - Dal territorio - Home - Il Giornale della Protezione Civile (http://www.ilgiornaledellaprotezionecivile.it/?pg=1&idart=3316&idcat=3)
YouTube - Incidente mortale "Base jumper" russo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4alSpNmnUA)
Any more info please post..
Info from bj.com from paddy french man who does sum it up pretty good
No experience. Shitty conditions.
Shouldn't have been jumping.
----------------------------------------------------------
After getting a private email from a friend of mine he told me he was there and approached the exit not long after the fatality and was told on 2 way radio that a jumper has gone in and the canopy is on the wall...it was up to them if they wanted to jump but know there is a canopy there and not get spooked...2/3rds of the group exited while 1 was brave enough to hike back down, he stated that there was a slight bit of cloud/mist around and there was windy conditions...he felt that with his lack of experience (maybe 50 or less jumps) he decided not to jump ,
Its a pity that hearing reports of his mentor leaving the deceased with only 1 base jump under his belt on the edge alone in tracking gear such a shame...
