Never Jump Out of a Perfectly Good Airplane

A bad day defined:
A first-time skydiver slipped from her harness during a jump and fell to her death, authorities said.

[...]

During tandem jumps, a novice skydiver is harnessed to the chest of an experienced jumper. When the parachute is deployed, the experienced skydiver guides the team to the ground.

A preliminary investigation by the sheriff's office indicated McWilliams slipped from the harness after the parachute opened.

It is not known how far the woman fell, and the sheriff's office did not release any further details.

I'll never understand the attraction of that sport.
