周日上午，犹他州一名定点跳伞者从悬崖坠落约700英尺后身亡，当局表示该区域是“这类运动的热门场地”。
犹他州东北部卡什县警长办公室确认死者为一名27岁男子，该办公室是接警后到场处置的部门。警方尚未公布其姓名，并表示在通知死者近亲前不会公开相关信息。
卡什县首席副警长多伊尔·佩克称，该男子是经验丰富的定点跳伞者，此前“多次参与”过类似活动，最终却在此次跳伞中发生意外。佩克在一份声明中表示，此次跳伞地点位于犹他州尤因塔-沃萨奇-卡什国家森林的米尔维尔峡谷以东，“当时出现了状况，他的翼装没有获得足够升力”。
声明续称：“他高速撞击地面，最终不治身亡。”
据调度录音显示，一架生命飞行直升机协助卡什县搜救人员前往救援。当时跳伞者坠落至沟壑中，地面救援人员无法抵达。佩克表示，救援人员在现场确认该男子已死亡，直升机随后将其遗体运走。
佩克称：“我们感谢所有到场处置事故的专业人员。同时，我们向该男子的家人和朋友致以最深切的哀悼。”
定点跳伞是一项极限运动，参与者从建筑物、天线、桥梁和悬崖等固定物体上跳下，借助降落伞降落。据红牛公司介绍，翼装是一种用于跳伞或定点跳伞的气动套装，旨在让跳伞者在自由落体过程中实现滑翔，此次犹他州事故中的跳伞者就身着这类装备。
专注于该运动教育的非营利组织“基地通道”表示，若要开始接受定点跳伞训练，课程通常要求参与者具备丰富的跳伞经验。但众所周知，这项运动仍极具危险性。据美联社报道，今年夏季犹他州曾发生另一起定点跳伞事故，包括极限运动员安迪·刘易斯在内的两人身亡。

BASE jumper dies after falling from 700-foot Utah cliff

A BASE jumper died in Utah on Sunday morning, after falling about 700 feet from a cliff that authorities said is located in “an area popular with this type of sport.”
The jumper was identified as a 27-year-old man by the sheriff’s office in Utah’s northeastern Cache County, who responded to the incident. They haven’t released his name and said that information would be withheld until the man’s next of kin had been notified.
Cache County Chief Deputy Doyle Peck described the man as an experienced BASE jumper who had participated “many times before” in activities like the one that ultimately led to his death. But, during this particular jump, from a spot just east of Millville Canyon in Utah’s Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, “something went wrong and he did not have enough lift with his wingsuit,” Peck said in a statement.
“He impacted the ground at a high rate of speed resulting in his death,” the statement continued.
A Life Flight helicopter assisted Cache County search and rescue crews as they attempted to reach the man, who had fallen into a gully and couldn’t be reached by ground crews, according to dispatch audio footage. He was declared dead at the scene, said Peck, and the helicopter was able to recover his body.
“We appreciate all of the professionals who responded to this accident,” said Peck. “We also extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this individual.”
BASE jumping is an extreme sport, in which participants leap from fixed objects such as buildings, antennas, bridges and cliffs, and descend using a parachute. A wingsuit, like the one worn by the jumper in Utah, is an aerodynamic suit designed for skydiving or BASE jumping that aims to allow jumpers to glide through the air during a free fall, according to Red Bull.
In order begin training to BASE jump, courses typically require that participants have significant skydiving experience, according to Base Access, a nonprofit organization focused on education around the sport. But engaging in it is still notoriously dangerous. Two people, including extreme athlete Andy Lewis, died in another BASE jumping accident in Utah over the summer, the Assoiated Press reported.
