Base Jumper Plunges To Dêath From 29-Storey Tower Due To Parachute Failure

Nathy Odinson, a base jumper from Cambridgeshire, unfortunately died in Pattaya, Thailand, following a parachute malfunction.

The deceased reportedly climbed to the top of an apartment building in Eastern Thailand on Saturday night.

A video shows how Nathy counted three before leaping from the top of the tower block into the night sky.

The camera followed him as he then went into a deadly tailspin while a small pilot chute swung wildly in the air.

Witnesses heard Nathy land in a tree before he hit the ground with a sickening thud.

A friend of the BASE-jumper is heard in the video exclaiming, “oh f***”, and emergency services were called a short time later.

Paramedics arrived about 7.30pm local time but sadly could not save Nathy. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Traumatised security guard Kanet Chansong, 33, said: “I heard the sound of the tree and I though it was a fallen branch hitting the ground.

“A woman screamed so I walked over and realised it was a person. They were dead. I saw that they had jumped from the building.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
