Jade Damarell, who lived in Caerphilly, died after crashing onto a farm following a skydive earlier this year
An experienced skydiver deliberately fell to her death from 15,500ft the day after her relationship ended, an inquest heard. Marketing manager Jade Damarell, died after crashing onto farmland in the village of Shotton Colliery, Co Durham, on April 27.
Ms Damarell, who was born in Hong Kong and lived in Caerphilly, was an experienced skydiver who had accomplished more than 500 jumps.
There was "no reason to suspect" her equipment was not working on the day she died, the inquest was told. A report by British SkyDiving said she had successfully carried out six skydives on the day before the tragedy.
ROFL, love your verse
FTA: An experienced skydiver deliberately fell to her death...
This is the song that played over the loudspeakers every morning in jump school, it might not in today’s army.

Thanks for explaining the reference. It seemed awful good, too good, for an off the cuff composition.
This story haunts me, as the father of a unmarried 22 year old daughter who is also gorgeous. Where will she be in 10 years? Her getting happily married and having kids is my deepest wish. But the clock is ticking...
Well its not like she would have had any problem finding a new boyfriend.
You say that, but actually a lot of guys are too intimidated to be with someone who is “too beautiful”. And as far as the guys who can get any woman they want, she still faces a lot of competition.
SPLAT!
Proving the old adage that its not the fall that kills you, its that sudden stop at the bottom.
If she only had landed on the roof of a car.
