Mid-air skydiving collision kills experienced jumper and injures another


Deputies in South Carolina said on Sunday a skydiver collided with another skydiver in midair before falling about 14,000ft to his death. Officials did not say if Springer’s parachute opened. Authorities said Springer and another experienced skydiver were doing advanced wing suit maneuvers during the final day of CarolinaFest, an event featuring specialized jump teams, when they collided in midair. Local media outlets reported that the body of 32-year-old Bond Springer, of Boca Raton, Florida, was found near Skydive Carolina, a skydiving business in Chester County. The other skydiver deployed his main parachute and landed with a broken leg.
