Thursday, October 2, 2025 - A 52-year-old skydiver plunged to her de@th after a "faulty" parachute failed to open during solo jump.
Rosana Mabel Back, 52, did a jump from her regular local centre
south of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, when the incident unfolded.
The therapist and professional writer was using different equipment than
those she was typically used to.
Tragically, Rosana's parachute reportedly failed to open after she
jumped from a plane and fell to her de@th on Miramar, about 200 miles
south of Buenos Aires, on Sunday, September 28. Her club sent their condolences
following the tragedy.
"Aero Club Miramar deeply regrets the tragic accident that occurred
near the aerodrome, in which a skydiver lost her life," the statement
read. "We are providing support to her family, loved ones, and colleagues
in this difficult time."
The club added: "It is important to note that the Miramar Aero Club
has no connection with the skydiving activity that takes place within the
provincial premises of the Miramar airport. We reiterate our sorrow for what
has happened and accompany the aero nautical and sports community at this time
of sorrow."
An autopsy has been ordered and experts are expected to carry out a review
of the equipment she used amid concerns it could have been faulty aspects to
it. An investigation into her de@th is ongoing.
