Tanya Pardazi dies after a skydiving accident
Tanya Pardazi’s life prematurely ended following a skydiving accident in Toronto, Canada as her parachute failed to open. She succumbed after sustaining injuries in the 4,000-foot fall.
Pardazi completed one ground training course at Skydive Toronto before she went on to jump from a plane on 3rd September 2022. Furthermore, the course supposedly made her eligible to undergo, what the company has termed as a ‘Solo First Jump Course’ on her own.
Skydive Toronto initially reported that Pardazi died because she had released her chute at a ‘low altitude without the time’ to inflate. However, new reports reveal that she was wearing an automatic parachute during her jump.
According to the official website of the school, the course completed by Pardazi states that the customers, ‘would static dive with the chute set to open automatically.’
The description further reads, ‘You will learn about your equipment, how to exit the airplane, freefall body position (arch), canopy control, and emergency protocol.’
Moreover, it added, ‘This course includes a skydive from 4,000 feet. Dispatched by a Jumpmaster, you will exit the airplane attached to a static line, which automatically deploys your main parachute during a fall of up to 5 seconds. A Ground Control Instructor will give you radio instructions over a walkie-talkie on how to navigate your parachute back to the landing area for a touchdown!’
