TL;DR Summary

British BASE jumper Nathy Odinson, 33, fell to his death in Thailand after his parachute failed to open during a 29-story leap from a hotel roof in Pattaya. Eyewitnesses heard a thud as he hit a tree and then the ground. Odinson's friend, who helped him access the rooftop, reported that the parachute string was snagged after he jumped. Odinson, known for creating video content, had previously jumped from the building multiple times. BASE jumping is considered more dangerous than skydiving, with a higher risk of death. A funeral for Odinson is scheduled for February 4 in Pattaya.
