Thursday, June 26, 2025 - A veteran skydiver was k!lled when she knocked into another jumper’s parachute shortly before landing, officials said.
Jasmine Black, 48, di£d Saturday afternoon, June 21, after
leaping from a plane operated by Skydive-Atlanta out of the Thomaston Upson
County airport in Georgia, according to Upson County Sheriff Dan
Kilgore.
Investigators said that as Black approached the landing
zone, her parachute hit that of another skydiver at a low altitude.
Black, who had more than 160 jumps under her belt, tried to
“cut away” her main parachute and deploy the emergency parachute, but it failed
because she was so close to the ground, Kilgore said.
When police arrived around 4:30 p.m., Black was de@d on the
tarmac.
