Quote:LOUISBURG, N.C. — A veteran sky diver who fell 10,500 feet to his death apparently forgot to wear a parachute in his excitement to film other sky divers, police said Monday after seeing footage taken by the man during his final free fall.
Ivan Lester McGuire, 35, of Durham died in the bizarre accident Saturday.
McGuire was filming a jump by other parachutists. Footage recorded by a voice-activated camera attached to his helmet led investigators to believe McGuire did not realize he was without a parachute.
Idiot got what he deserved. Shocking that no one else noticed, too. Each time I've jumped, the person behind me in the plane checked to make sure my pins were in their proper position & my pilot chute was tucked away properly. This is usually the case for each jumper.
Fail on all accounts.
