SecondThe parachute coach in Australia died in a tandem jump, possibly saving the lives of his guests in the process. The dramatic accident occurred in Torquay, Victoria: Australian media reported on Monday that neither the main screen nor the replacement screen turned on properly after jumping off the plane. According to the Australian newspaper, at the time of the impact, experienced tandem master Arron Toepfer personally mobilized all forces to protect the 50-year-old passenger.
According to the information, he should position himself so as to cushion the impact for the guests. The 35-year-old man died at the scene of the accident.
The passenger was hospitalized due to a fracture, dislocation of the hip joint, and bleeding from the spleen and kidney. This parachute instructor is called “high-quality” by his colleagues. He completes an average of six to eight jumps a week and is known as a hero in Australia.
It was initially unclear how the accident happened. The authorities announced that the background should be scrutinized in detail.
