VIDEO: Acrobat Loses Control of Parachute, Botches Landing, Killing One at Brazilian Music Festival

Parachuting work is not easy. As a diver artist or acrobat, there is too much on the line at all times. One wrong move could cost you your life. However, what’s often overlooked is that one wrong move while skydiving could ruin someone else’s life altogether as well. While this does not happen too often, on the ties it does, it is very much worth addressing. In today’s piece, we will explore how a parachutist hurtling at top speed led to injuries for several people and killed one.

Bank Manager Wagner Rubens Gaido, 63, was the victim who suffered fatally from the incident. Although he died at the scene, he was rushed to a hospital along with the parachutist and two other people injured during the incident.

Bad Landing Causes Death

Police are now investigating this incident and the event as a whole. Even after the accident, the local owners decided to continue the festival after educating their audience about safety protocols. Meanwhile, videos from the event showed the parachutist approaching solid ground at a great speed.

The parachutist landed before a stunned audience at the music festival in Brazil. The parachutist hit one victim, who was sent flying. All of this while other people gasped in shock.

Over the weekend, a similar incident took place. A parachutist fell to his death on the lawn of a panicked Titusville resident. According to a statement from local authorities, the solo skydiver was found dead at 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Despite efforts to save him, paramedics pronounced him dead on the spot. As of now, his remains are part of a bigger ongoing investigation.

To save the victim, paramedics even sent for a helicopter. However, the request was aborted after the man was pronounced dead. The local authorities said that more details will be revealed to the public when the investigation has wound up.

Other terrifying skydiving incidents

Earlier this year in Texas, Melissa Porter lost her life while testing a high-risk maneuver called “swooping.” While the incident involved eight separate parachutists jumping off a plane together, unfortunately,  one of them lost their life in a bad landing. While current reports are still being investigated, the police are confident that the case will close with a consensus eventually.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these fallen victims. While being an adrenaline junkie is exciting and dynamic, it is equally risky and cannot be taken for granted. Let us hope that these incidents occur far and few in between.
