## Narrative

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

AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 HOURS PDT.

A MALE SPORT PARACHUTIST BOARDED A CESSNA 208 CARAVAN MODIFIED INTO A JUMP PLANE.  AFTER THE AIRCRAFT REACHED THE JUMP ALTITUDE THEN ALL THE JUMPERS ON THAT LOAD EXITED THE AIRCRAFT UNEVENTFULLY.

AFTER A SKY DIVE FREE-FALL THE JUMPER'S MAIN CANOPY WAS OPENED TO A GOOD CHUTE.  MOMENTS LATER THE JUMPER FALL OUT OF THE RIG HARNESS AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 FEET.

THE JUMPER WAS FATALLY INJURED AFTER CONTACTING 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.
