Some 13 people died skydiving in the U.S. in 2018. So far this year, there have been six fatalities in the U.S., three of which occurred at Mile-Hi. The United States Parachuting Association (USPA) which licenses skydivers and rates instructors, says most deaths are caused by human error.
New Zealand skydiver Michael Holmes survived a parachuting accident in 2006. It was just a routine day for the 25-year-old skydiving instructor who had 7,000 jumps under his belt. But on this day his parachute failed and Holmes fell 15,000 feet before hitting the ground.
