Caller.com Eyewitness Video: Fatal Skydiving Accident in Port Aransas, TX
Video of rescue efforts after fatal skydiving accident shot by Norm Ellison.
A sky diver with more than 10,000 jumps died Thursday when his parachute collapsed, causing him to fall through the roof of a condominium.
Authorities didnt release the mans name pending notification of his family.
The 34-year-old, a Hungarian national living in Raleigh, N.C., was in Port Aransas working at Skydive Atlas during spring break, authorities said.
Within seconds of the crash, a maintenance worker grabbed a ladder and rushed to help the man, witnesses said.
Norm Ellison, a winter Texan from Michigan who lives at the Gulfside Beach condos, said the maintenance worker put up his ladder and started to peel away pieces of roof to get to the man. Two medics soon joined him, using his ladder, Ellison said.
He was down in a hole between the
attic and the second floor, supporting this poor guys broken leg, Ellison said. It was a bad sight, Id imagine hes going to have a tough time sleeping tonight. (The sky diver) was conscious and talking, he told him his name and a short time later he was dead.
Port Aransas police and fire officials responded to the condos in the 600 block of Beach Access Road 1A off State Highway 361 about 10:50 a.m.
The unit the sky diver hit was the last in a row of 10, with the field where he was supposed to land beginning no more than 20 feet from where he hit.
Lt. Darryl Johnson said the man was one of 10 sky divers who took off from Mustang Beach Airport about 2 miles from the landing site.
The group of six customers and four employees jumped from an altitude of about 14,000 feet, police reported.
The man killed was the last to jump because he was the groups camera man, capturing images of the tandem jumps, officials said.
The group normally lands on the beach, Johnson said, but because of wind gusts of as much as 25 mph, the group decided to land in a field as a safety precaution. The nine others landed safely.
Police Chief Scott Burroughs said that by all indications the mans parachute properly deployed initially, but failed just seconds before impact.
John Lanfor, a spokesman for Skydive Atlas, told police the man was doing a hook-turn maneuver when turbulence partially collapsed his parachute, sending him into a free fall.
Johnson said the condo, which had been sold 10 days ago, was unoccupied at the time of the accident. Emergency workers broke down the front door to try to get to the sky diver and used a fire engine ladder with a basket to lift the man out of the building, Johnson said.
HALO-Flight was waiting in the field to take him to a hospital, but he died shortly after being removed from the home, police said.
Lynn Lunsford, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said there are a handful of sky diving fatalities across the country each year
This is definitely a rare and unusual occurrence, Lunsford said.
In 2006, Eric Lee Frost Yager, 30, a Bishop area resident, was killed when his chute failed to open at the Bishop Municipal Airport.
Sharon Brown, who lives in a condo near Thursdays accident, said she had been watching sky divers land in the field all week.
We were just talking about it saying we hoped no one got hurt; they are so close to the buildings, Brown said. Its a very sad ending to what looks like a lot of fun.
