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 NyÃregyháza, 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.
