He just got caught up in the moment and followed them out, forgetting that he wasn’t wearing a chute.

Just damn. Can you imagine (I can’t) what must have gone through his mind on the way down?

I was going to do that next week ( no kidding, really !) but now that I know the results, I hope it’s not too late to cancel and get my money back.

Somehow I’m thinking he “fell” rather than “jumped”. Probably leaned out a little too far to get that last shot. How sad...

“His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof, police said.”

And the significance of the damaged roof???

reminds me of ...
Hawkeye- Well you know Tuttle, no sacrifice too great.
This morning while the rest of us were selfishly having a cup of coffee he went off in a helicopter to do some field surgery.

He jumped with his plasma,

his bag,

everything an army doctor needs



except his parachute.

I wonder if anyone was holding his beer for him.

As the Army brat son of a career Paratrooper (Airborne All The Way, and don’t you forget it.) one of the things my dad taught me was to never jump out of a plane without your parachute. I still remember that lesson to this day and I’m still alive!

Funny - I seem to recall this on a video a few years back. Maybe it’s a recurrent theme ... the photog’s get so involved in filming they forget to put on the ‘chute themselves ....

If he was filming the jump through the camera's view finder then he may have lost situational awareness when following the student and instructor. The result being he took one step too far.

From 10,000ft it would have taken about one minute to reach the ground.

Terrible accident.
