A 52-year-old skydiver plunged to her de@th after a “faulty” parachute failed to open during solo jump. Rosana Mabel Back, 52, did a jump from her regular local centre south of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, when the incident unfolded. The therapist and professional writer was using different equipment than those she was typically used to. Tragically, Rosana’s parachute reportedly failed to open after she jumped from a plane and fell to her de@th on Miramar, about 200 miles south of Buenos Aires, on Sunday, September 28. Her club sent their condolences following the tragedy. “Aero Club Miramar deeply regrets the tragic accident that occurred near the aerodrome, in which a skydiver lost her life,” the statement read. “We are providing support to her family, loved ones, and colleagues in this difficult time.” The club added: “It is important to note that the Miramar Aero Club has no connection with the skydiving activity that takes place within the provincial premises of the Miramar airport. We reiterate our sorrow for what has happened and accompany the aero nautical and sports community at this time of sorrow.” An autopsy has been ordered and experts are expected to carry out a review of the equipment she used amid concerns it could have been faulty aspects to it. An investigation into her de@th is ongoing.The post Skydiver, 52, plunges to de@th after ‘faulty’ parachute failed to open during solo jump appeared first on TIME.I.NG.
