A 27-year-old base jumper dies in Utah after his wingsuit fails and he falls about 700 feet, according to authorities. Local reporting identifies the incident as occurring in a remote mountainous area near Hyrum, east of Millville, on Sunday.
The Cache County Sheriff’s Office is cited as saying the man falls to his death. NBC News and The Guardian both report that his name is not released and that authorities withhold his identity pending family notification. NBC News characterizes the man as experienced in the activity. The outlets provide the same basic account of the jump height, the wingsuit failure, the location in Cache County near Hyrum, and the lack of publicly released identity details.
