What happened
A flight departing from Hassfurt for a scheduled skydiving operation ended in a fatal accident after a member of the jump crew collided with the plane. After reaching the designated altitude, the initial skydiver exited the cabin; however, during the exit, the individual struck the tail section of the aircraft. This impact triggered intense vibrations throughout the airframe.
As the pilot struggled to regain control of the single-engine aircraft, all remaining passengers evacuated the cabin. The aircraft subsequently entered an uncontrolled descent. During this period of rapid descent, the left wing failed and separated from the fuselage due to extreme g-loads. The aircraft ultimately impacted an open field, resulting in the total destruction of the plane.
Findings
Emergency responders located seven survivors at the crash site. Among the rescued individuals, three sustained serious injuries. The incident resulted in one fatality, specifically a skydiver involved in the initial collision.
