- Police are investigating a deadly skydiving incident in Eloy. Officials say the incident occurred on Wednesday around noon. A statement from Skydive Arizona says "a highly experienced skydiver with several thousands of jumps" died after making a skydive.
It’s sad to say that this man died doing some thing that he loved may rest in peace he’s in God‘s kingdom now 🙏🏼
There are risks, each and every one of us take, he is with us all, doing what we love. Love always.
This happens all the time they just don't talk about it, especially on the news .. but I'm glad they are now shining light on this matter.
I wouldn't say "happens all the time" is the correct wording to use. FYI: USA skydiving fatalities over the past 5 years: 2019, 3.3 million jumps, 15 deaths. 2020, 2.8 million jumps, 11 deaths. 2021, 3.57 million jumps, 10 deaths. 2022, 3.9 million jumps, 20 deaths. 2023, estimated 3.5+ million jumps, 10 deaths.
@GoToPhx so with all those deaths, you don't think that happens a little too much, or you just used to people dying all the time ?
@@topflight6024 I think you and I have very different opinions of what constitutes "a lot" of deaths. If you consider 10 or even 20 people passing in one year a figure that earns the words "all these deaths", and "happens all the time", that's your belief and I can't and wont try to change it. I guess I'm also a bit confused that you go a step further an imply that "all these deaths" are being covered up by some unknow and unspecified "they". Your words I'm referencing: "This happens all the time but they just don't talks about, especially on the news...But I'm glad they are now shining the light on this matter." BTW, perhaps think back to all the media stories you've heard about people passing due to participation in other sports: Horseback riding; average 710 deaths per year. Bicycle riding? That's 966 the most recent statistics I could find. How about this statistic: 117 people died from hiking, camping, or backpacking accidents in the most recent year I could find. Boating? 500/year. In 2021, there were 96 fatalities while kayaking, 46 fatalities while canoeing, and 18 fatalities while standup paddle-boarding. Snowmobiling is 200, Skiing-57, Golf-15, Swimming- 4000, Soccer-214, Rollerskating-40, Skateboarding-15, motorcycling 6084. For football: 20. I can't find a yearly average for baseball, but this little tidbit is quite concerning to me: Baseball also has the highest fatality rate among sports for children ages 5 to 14, with three to four children dying from baseball injuries each year. Just saying I think we will have to agree to disagree.
Still safer than driving a car.
@@topflight6024 I'm saying that you and I have a very different definition about two things: FIRST we disagree about defining what 10, or even 20 deaths a year in an activity or sport means. You say 10 deaths means the words "all those deaths", "happens all the time", and they "happen a little too much" accurately describe the situation. I have a broader knowledge base and ask you to consider other activities. Going off the most recent data I could find, here's some annual death rates you might find surprising...Horseback riding: 710. Bicycle riding; 1230. Hiking; 120 to 150. Rollerskating; 40. Swimming; 3690. Snowmobiling; 200. Scuba Diving: 100. Skateboarding; 15. Motorcycle riding; 6084. Skiing; 57. Lacrosse; 19. Football; 12 (youth only stats). Boating; 636. Rock Climbing 20-50 per year. And while I couldn't find general data for baseball, I found this somewhat disturbing bit of information, for ages 5-14, there were 3-4 deaths playing baseball per year. SECOND we disagree about there being some type of conspiracy (sounds like what you're inferring in your original comment) that some unknown "THEY" is hiding skydiving statistics. I don't skydive and never will, but the FAA requires investigations and reports into all skydiving incidents and the US Parachute Association publishes and makes available in information of the incidents. And personally, I can't remember the last time I read or saw anything about a hiking death, or rock climbing, or snowmobiling, or scuba diving, etc., etc., etc. Therefore based on your assertion that skydiving deaths "happens all the time" but "they just don't talk about it, especially on the news", but you're "glad they are now shining light on this matter" should ABSOLUTELY mean you are up in arms about the statistics I just found online. Are you equally concerned about a conspiracy that's hiding deaths from scuba diving? Skateboarding? Skiing? Rock climbing? Youth Baseball? And if not, why not?
They are using a few ambiguous words, "fully" and "deploy". Technically end cell closure would fit as not being fully opened. Deploying, at least what I am thinking, as the pc being released from the boc. If released, at least there is an attempted deployment either intended or unintentional. Their phrase of, "did not fully deploy", sort sounds like a bridle entanglement rather than a canopy in the inflation stage. The article might also consider a partial malfunction a deployment malfunction therefore leading to the phrase "did not fully deploy".
Did the reporter not speak with a skydiver on the jump? We would know whether he had an AAD or the jumpers "not fully deployed" canopy was actually a reserve. This article answers very little.
The other skydivers would also be able to answer if it was a high speed or low speed malfunction.
I believe he had an AAD but it did not deploy due to the 'somewhat slow' speed of descent under a partially inflated main canopy.
No more parachutes
Are you inferring that because people die doing something, that activity should be outlawed? I'm not a skydiver, but you may not realize that fatalities in the sport have been declining for years. In depth analysis of every incident is compiled and made public to aid in education and safety improvements. And a big percentage of fatal incidents are caused by poor human decisions.

Yeah, they need to shut these places down for good !
@@topflight6024 In case you don't see the reply I left to your previous comment I will re-post it here. And now that I see you are 'jumping' on my comments that I left for other people, I have to let you know that while I find this amusing, it IS a sign of what's called "troll behavior'. I wish you good luck, no ill will, but most people who exhibit these behaviors cannot be reasoned with, and cannot understand opposing views no matter how logical or supported by how many facts. So, I will no longer reply to any of your comments on this thread.
Here is the cut and past of my other reply I mentioned:

He's okay in Heaven and it is doubtful he ever felt pain.
Chances are, this was his time to cross over. All is well for him.
Peace to his family & froends who grieve.
