Its surprising the skydiver survived at terminal velocity going into a set of paraglider lines would be like going through a cheese grater.
Over the years I was skydiving there were a number of fatalities when other people deployed in the way of someone still in freefall and they got sliced
They should have got radio clearance before jumping.
Colin you need to watch out in all directions when you go there

I can second that Chris. When we were there people were falling out of the sky from every angle loads of different companies doing SIV courses. One day I was told to hold position on the radio as someone had deployed about 100 meters above and to my left I can still see in my mind the guy dropping like a stone going passed me screaming like a pig, his reserve did come out eventually but it left me quite shaken and that was before I started my maneuvers.Colin you need to watch out in all directions when you go there
I feel sick

Always thought I wanted to do SIV at Olu, but I think I'll choose a less crowded place.
