QLD accident

A BRISBANE skydiving instructor has died after landing heavily during a
jump.
The man, 33, died in the Esk Base Hospital just after 2pm yesterday after
the midday jump at Ramblers Drop Zone at
Toogoolawah, 130km west of Brisbane.
Senior Constable Peter Redman, of Esk police, today said the routine jump
was going as planned until the instructor was close
to the landing site, when a problem occurred causing him to land very
heavily.
"We're looking at whether he's had some sort of equipment failure not far
from the ground," Snr Const Redman said.
The man was taken by ambulance to the Esk Base Hospital and preparations
were under way to airlift him to Brisbane when
he died from his injuries.
A post mortem examination is expected to be conducted on Monday.
A report on the skydiving death is also being prepared for the coroner. The
death is the third at the Toogoolawah jump site in
the past three years.
