Fatality at Skydive Dallas
Phil Moore, 34, from Oklahoma City died April 15 after a skydiving accident at Skydive Dallas in Whitewright, Texas. On his first-ever skydive, Moore executed a normal landing approach with a fully functional parachute and for reasons unknown, he initiated a sharp turn and struck the side of the metal airplane hanger. Dropzone manager Joe Rekart reported, "The winds had him traveling about 20 mph and at the last minute, he turned. He ran with the wind and hit the building. He didn't need to turn at all. We are uncertain why he turned." Moore had completed eight hours of parachute training Saturday and spent two more hours in briefings before he went up for the jump on Sunday.
