The usual ideal winds for skydiving turned for only a moment Sunday, just long enough to injure two exhibition jumpers on the Capital City Skydiving team.

B次元官网网址淭he winds are usually from the north or the south theyB次元官网网址檙e usually perfect for landing there. ThatB次元官网网址檚 where they were calling the winds, from the south along the beach. The first two planes went in and dropped their jumpers and it went well,B次元官网网址� said Bob Verret, owner Capital City Skydiving.B次元官网网址�

The second load of jumpers, four per plan in two planes, had a normal start to the second dive.

B次元官网网址淓verything was normal, everything was fine, but when we were coming down,B次元官网网址� Verret said. B次元官网网址淲e canB次元官网网址檛 see the wind, we can go by the flag there. When I was coming down the flag was straight up and down, the main thrust of the wind was from the south B次元官网网址� however when we were about 15 feet from the ground we all experienced a gust, a burble, and it basically was collapsing our canopies, it didnB次元官网网址檛 matter what we did.B次元官网网址�

All suffered hard landings, two suffered injuries and were taken to hospital.

B次元官网网址淚t was the last second,B次元官网网址� Verret said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 three seconds from landing when all of a sudden my parachute is not responding anymore.B次元官网网址�

He looked back at his son, Daniel Verret, the final jumper and one of those hospitalized.

B次元官网网址淗is canopy basically did 90 degree swipe to the right and pounded him sideways on the beach,B次元官网网址� Bob Verret said. A second injured jumper was also taken to hospital

B次元官网网址淭hese jumpers theyB次元官网网址檙e all professional jumpers basically, you have to have at least 500 jumps to be an exhibition jump rating. They were the top of the line,B次元官网网址� Verret said. B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檒l heal and weB次元官网网址檒l get back on track again,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭he guys that got injured theyB次元官网网址檙e going to go back at it.B次元官网网址�
