He was inexperienced at parachuteless landings.

Black humor: this happened in Yolo County.

Suicide as a cause makes the most sense. You aren’t about to fall out of a strapped on rig.

I’m sure he said more than shoot.

That’s a heck of a way to off yourself. No mind changing there.

You don’t need a parachute to skydive. You need a parachute to skydive twice.

What if you strapped to a cat?

23 years old and 600 'jumps'?
The guy certainly liked his sky-diving (at least the first 599 of them).

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not the sport for you.

In the first part of the story it says he died at a “hospital,” then further down it states that “the deceased skydiver” was found north of the airport. Which is it?

Nope, not me. Plus I’d be doubly sure I was harnessed in tight. I’ve made three static line jumps just to see how it felt. Three. Just three.

It wasn’t the fall that killed him.
It wasn’t that sudden stop at the end of his fall that killed him.
It was the hospital.
