Description
Christian was attempting a spiral/barrel roll all other pilots landed and didn’t see him at the LZ.
Unknown cause of death at this time, but it took 3 hours for search and rescue to reach him. Justin was the first to see the ambulances and hike up to him from his iPhone location. (Issue with the delayed rescue)
We are unable to tell if he died on impact or died of exposure after accident.
If anyone has more information to fill in please contact.
