    April was 5’0 and weighed in at 372 pounds. It’s no wonder she and her partner had a “hard landing”. They probably hit the ground at 90mph. Good thing she was in front of her instructor on impact. At least the airbag saved him.

    As for the idiot who collided with another sky diver…….he learned a tough lesson about jumping out of a plane too soon after the person ahead of him.

    Doesn’t sound like either are the fault of the airport. Skydiving is always a high risk activity. It was intended for military operations and life saving in the event a plane was going down. Some fools decided it would be just plain fun to do. Deal with it doe-doe’s.

    April, in fact, stood right at 6 foot and was about 145 lbs. She was a beautiful person inside and out. If you google her name you will see her picture. I believe you may be inaccurate in your assumption that the “idiot” jumping too soon also. It is a good idea to research information you recieve so you will not appear….misinformed.
