73-year-old Arizona Man Dies in Skydiving Tragedy Due to Parachute Failure
A 73-year-old Arizona man, Terry Gardner, died after his parachute failed to fully deploy during a skydiving jump with friends. The incident occurred during his third jump of the day, and despite other skydivers landing safely, unexpected complications led to Gardner's hard landing and subsequent hospitalization. The investigation is ongoing, with the Federal Aviation Administration set to inspect the parachute to determine the cause of the complications. This tragedy follows a similar incident in Colorado last month, highlighting the risks associated with skydiving.
