In order to celebrate her birthday, a Russian woman challenged skydiving. However, she did not expect that her parachute failed to open smoothly in mid-air, and finally fell into a tree, suffering severe fractures all over her body and unfortunately died!
According to British media The Sun, the woman has always had a wish to skydive, so she signed up for skydiving with several friends, hoping to fulfill her dream on a special day to celebrate her 49th birthday.
They jumped from 2,650 feet that day, but in the air, the woman found that her parachute could not open properly. The staff on the ground noticed the woman's abnormal falling speed and urgently instructed her to use the backup parachute through the loudspeaker. One staff member even shouted "backup" five times in a row, but the woman seemed unable to operate the emergency equipment correctly and fell heavily into a tree.

The woman was rushed to the hospital with fractures all over her body. Her condition initially improved and a family member revealed that she was able to get out of bed, but unfortunately, her condition then deteriorated sharply and she eventually passed away.
The flying club declined to comment on the tragedy. Police have launched a criminal investigation into the accident to determine the cause and responsibilities.
