Skydiver dies after parachute gets tangled in San Joaquin County

A woman died in a skydiving accident Saturday near Lodi, Calif., after her parachute became tangled and failed to deploy as she fell to the ground, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.

The accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. at the Skydive Lodi Parachute Center, Sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Goucher said. The victim has not been identified.The incident is being investigated by the San Joaquin County Office of the Medical Examiner and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Paul Van Der Walde, the attorney representing the family of Los Banos resident Tyler Turner, said the multimillion-dollar penalty was significant not only because of the amount, but also because it specifically targeted the owner, Bill Dause. Van Der Walde and the Turner family sued Dause alleging negligence. Tyler Turner and the skydiving instructor he was jumping in tandem with died on Aug. 6, 2016, near the skydiving center. Turner was attached to the instructor by a harness. They plummeted 13,000 feet to the ground when the instructor could not get their parachutes open.“He [the instructor] was still under a probationary period when they did the jump,” Van Der Walde said. “And he did not have the appropriate emergency training.

Tyler Turner’s death was one of nearly two dozen fatalities at the center since 1981, Van Der Walde said.

Outrageous, so many deaths here.

Such poor writing and English. Condolences to the deceased’s family; but I’m sure the poor sky diver didn’t become entangled in the County. Maybe hire an English teacher to check your headlines.

thebencohn FUCK!

🙏

Ouch 😓

2 dozen fatalities at this place since 1981?! How is it still open?

Wow…“The fatal accident comes just a month after a judge ordered the parachute center’s owner to pay $40 million to a Merced County family whose 18-year-old son died in a 2016 parachute accident.”

I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?
