The “accident” took place Friday in Fentress, Texas – about 20 minutes from San Marcos.
The skydiver, who had been licensed to skydive solo for at least four years and had done several successful skydives at this location previously, was wearing their own parachute system for a self-supervised skydive, said Christy West, a spokeswoman for the company.
"The investigation is ongoing, but early indications are that the primary parachute malfunctioned and the backup parachute was used," West said."However, the skydiver did not survive the landing despite immediate medical attention." In 2021, the United States Parachute Association recorded 10 fatal skydiving accidents — the lowest yearly total on record. That was out of over 3.5 million jumps at more than 210 USPA-affiliated skydiving centers across the country.
