The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

In an attempt to return to the landing site, privacy data omitted made a hard left turn, causing his parachute to lose lift, which ended in a rapid descent and major injuries to privacy data omitted submission of this report closes this incident.
