I just returned from examaning the gear. The conclusion is a total. High speed impact with nothing out. Both closing loops were broke clean thru. The slider was still up and there was a partial main stow. Brakes were set and toggles stowed. It was instant, he didn't suffer.

No Shit! I want to know more details as well. I think everyone needs to know for many, many reasons....

Does anyone know anything else? What's with the GPS movement 18 miles away? Stitch, how are you doing?

I'm okay so far. Lots of bizarre turns in this situation.

Adam says you should go fuck yourself.

A few years back I was teaching deaf Shone to do a dirty tard-over. The dude's deaf so I did not speak a word. That Leroy guy was observing us from 10 feet away very curious about the situation. In any case, Shone did his first tard-over (also first unpacked jump). He actually turned it onto a marry-poppins because he told me if it was OK to hold the tarp above his head for a few seconds. Why not?

A few loads go up and a few hours later I saw Leroy re-emerging from the canyon with his right hand all bloody. Jesus Christ Leroy did you get hurt on landing, I asked. No, the dude got hurt on deployment after his first tard-over. It turned out that my no-speech lesson to deaf Shone was also Leroy's instruction as well! What Leroy missed is that you stow the lines between your fingers, not COIL the motherfuckers around your hand!

I like that Leroy guy!

Hey, guys. I get the need to know the specifics, but can we maybe give Stitch a breather for a couple of days? Not only did he go through hell for over a week, it ended with something few of us have ever had to do. He might appreciate a return to normallcy and the chance to relax and recouperate a bit.

Mick, I don't know how to answer those questions because I have never had much interest in wingsuits. Maybe Johnny, Avery, or Uncle Charlie can offer some insight. I was never at the actual site where the body was recovered. I only was shown photos from the scene. Perhaps the lower ledge extends a good deal farther than indicated in the photos.

Colin, while I do really appreciate your thoughts. I find it much easier to deal with this situation if I keep myself occupied. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts.
