## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: MR. EWERT WAS ATTEMPTING HIS SECOND JUMP. JUMP MASTER BELIEVES THERE WAS A TENSION KNOT IN THE STEERING GROUP WHICH CAUSED THE CHUTE TO PARTIALLY OPEN. MR. EWERT DID NOT USE HIS RESERVE CHUTE. MR. EWERT WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN HE FELL INTO THE TREES. HOWEVER MR. EWERT SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES WHEN HE CUT LOOSE FROM HIS CHUTE AND THE TREES AND FELL THIRTY FEET TO THE GROUND.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
