A Tennessee skydiving instructor died after a tandem jump went wrong over the weekend.
Local media outlets identified the instructor as 35-year-old Justin Fuller. His body was found "in the clearing of a wooded area off Ashland City Highway," the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Saturday evening on X.
The student Fuller was jumping with was "lodged in a tree with an open parachute" and is expected to be okay after being rescued by fire crews, police said.
"This skydiver became separated at the plane from a tandem rig with an instructor," an X post said. "Three other skydivers who jumped moments earlier landed safely. The plane landed safely at Tune Airport."

A few moments of terror before death. Reminds me of the other recent story where the rock climber near the top of El Capitain in Yosemite was rappelling down to grab a bag that was stuck and rappelled right off the end of the rope because he forgot to tie a knot.

Reminds me of the time that I took an elevator to get to the top of Rockefeller Center. Why because I’m not a ftickong adrenaline idiot.
I also like to leap from an airplane… Onto the exit ramp, after the plane has landed, taxied to the gate, and I’ve unbuckled my seat belt.

at least you have the guts to go up in an elevator to the rock. i dont like those high building views, even for someone who grew up in new york, i hate high floors in buildings. and i think my fear of heights is increasing with age although i never feel it in planes, always get a window seat, which is weird.
