Woman Dies When Parachute Doesn't Fully Open

[caff]

PERRIS, Calif. (AP) ― A woman from Newport Beach was killed at a popular Riverside County skydiving spot when her parachute failed to fully open.

The Riverside County coroner said Sunday that 33-year-old Brooke Baum, who friends said was an experienced skydiver, was killed after jumping from more than 12,000 feet above the Perris Valley Skydiving facility.

Baum was pronounced dead after she was found in an open field Friday. An autopsy was performed Sunday, but the results weren't immediately available.

sucks for her, not a good way to die................

god damn. my friend was just tellin me we should do some crazy shit like sky diving and i said i was scared my parachute wouldnt inflate. im definitley not guna do that shit now.

 

[ALL BOUT CHICKEN]

[MeloTrauma]

do they really need to perform an autopsy? wouldnt the cause of death be "splattered?"

i bet her heart dropped when the parachute didnt open. prolly wished she neva got on the plane & bounced instead.

oh shit my co worker was goin sky diving over Christmas, I'm glad it wasin't her! Still that sucks tho RIP

it will happen to someone. sooner or later. The odds are slim...but they are there. I like to gamble, but not with my life. People always think that kind of shit happens to other people. I'm pretty sure the "other people" feel the same way. I have an open invitation to go to the same place to skydive. It's paid for and everything. I declined. Hell naw!
