Video: the last minutes of a young man who died after parachuting

The tragedy happened in August 2016 in California, United States, but footage from previous moments only appeared this week. Tyler Turner, who suffered from cerebral palsy, died with instructor Yong Kwon after jumping from a plane to 4000 meters high after the parachute does not open.

The video was released after the owner of the skydiving center was ordered to pay Tyler’s family $ 40 million in compensation. In the clip, he can be seen on camera stating that for the first time “he’s going to jump out of a plane” and that he felt “a little scared”. “When I get there, it’s going to be like, ‘Oh my God!’ The adrenaline will kick in and I will let it happenSaid the 18-year-old who later said goodbye to his mother. “Before getting on the plane, he got on his knees and prayed, made peace with God, then he turned around and gave me a big hug. He had an adventurous spirit and wanted to do a lot in this world, ”the woman confessed.

Investigations confirmed that the instructor was not certified and that he had not completed all of his training. For this reason, the court held Skydive Lodi Parachute Center owner Bill Dause liable and made him pay a millionaire sum.

In 2016, the owner of the place said: “It’s an unfortunate situation, but if you see a car accident they don’t close the freewayIt is something that unfortunately in this sport, in skiing, in diving, there are deaths ”. On the other hand, family lawyer Paul Van Der Walde said: “The instructor was still on probation when he made the jump and did not receive the proper emergency training. . Turner’s death is one of nearly two dozen deaths at the center since 1981.″.
