Skydiver seriously injured after parachute malfunctions in Oceanside [Breaking]
A skydiver was injured Friday evening when his parachute failed to open properly, causing him to fall and land the ground near the Oceanside airport, authorities said.
The incident happened shortly after 5 p.m., when the skydiver — a man described as being in his 30s or 40s — from GoJump Oceanside fell and struck the roof of a home, according to the Oceanside Fire Department. The man then landed on the ground between two homes on Toopal Drive. Because the parachute opened partially, the man did not go into a complete freefall, but the drop was “at an accellerated pace” and uncontrolled, the department said in a news release.The skydiver suffered injuries described as serious but not life threatening. No further information about the man was released.
The Oceanside and Carlsbad fire departments responded, and the man was taken by air ambulance to a local trauma center.
