Accident in Hungarian airspace claims life!

The accident happened on 8 July, a man suffered serious injuries but was taken into hospital, and doctors performed surgery immediately. They saved his life in the short run, but yesterday he died because of the wounds he suffered close to Nyíregyháza.

According to telex.hu, a Hungarian man was seriously injured on 8 July after his parachute did not open properly. The sad events happened near Nyíregyháza, a Hungarian city of 116,000 inhabitants in Northeast Hungary, close to the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.

Based on the statement of the Hungarian Parachute Association (Magyar Ejtőernyős Szövetség) posted on Facebook, the man’s name was Zsolt, and he was their student. Since his parachute did not open properly, he hit the ground hard, and despite the professional medical help, his life could not be saved. Zsolt passed away on Wednesday morning. The association added that experts are now investigating the circumstances of the tragedy.

Hungary’s nr1 commercial TV channel, RTL Klub, wrote before that Zsolt was in his forties and was carrying out his second jump. For some reason, his parachute did not open properly. According to an eye-witness, his instructor shouted to release the damaged parachute. He could not do so and hit the ground spinning in the air.

Fatal accident: the instructor tried to help

Zsolt was immediately taken to the hospital where doctors performed a surgery and kept him anesthetised. The man from Mickolc jumped from 1,000-1,200 metres high and completed his first jump without a problem. Béla Jászai, a parachute instructor, said that, during his second jump, an anomaly developed in his parachute which he could not solve.

An eye witness said his instructor kept shouting the orders to him, but he could not act accordingly. Zsolt’s parachute was half-open, so he spun in the air, but the distance between him and the ground ran short too swiftly. Finally, he hit the ground between the runway and the hangars on a grassy terrain. An ambulance helicopter took him to hospital, but he suffered serious skull, chest, pelvic bone and limb injuries. The medical team took him to the Kenézy Hospital in Debrecen, performed surgery that day and he was kept under anaesthesia at the ICU for weeks. Unfortunately, they could not save Zsolt’s life.
