现在
验尸官记录确认了两名经验丰富的跳伞者的身份以及她们于11月6日死亡的事实;两人当时正训练,目标是创下女子队形纪录。她们为何在着陆进场时发生降落伞缠绕,仍未查明。
这次聚会的体育目标也比我们此前报道所能确认的更明确。参与者 Chazi Rutz 告诉《洛杉矶时报》,该团体正在训练,目标是创下加州女子直立队形纪录——计划组成19人队形,而她称现有纪录基准为12人。这些数字是参与者给出的目标和基准,并不代表纪录已完成或获认证。8
共同目标,随后发生着陆紧急情况
但训练目标与致命碰撞发生在跳伞的不同阶段。Skydive Elsinore 称,自由落体和降落伞打开过程均正常。按照该公司的说法,碰撞发生在之后、两人准备着陆时,当时离地约150英尺。公司称,碰撞导致她们的降落伞缠绕,两人落地时均受重伤。5
Rutz 也描述说,两人在开伞后靠得过近,打开的降落伞发生缠绕。她的说法支持运营方描述的大致经过,但无法确认任何一人做了什么动作、能看到什么、谁有优先通行权,或她们的飞行路线为何交汇。目前没有证据表明,队形训练本身导致了事故。8
这一差别很重要。“为创纪录而训练”解释了两人为何在那里,却没有解释她们如何相撞。把目标当成事故原因,就是用聚会中最引人注目的细节,取代有关着陆过程的缺失证据。
官方记录确认的情况
验尸官记录的时间
设备问题仍未解决
Skydive Elsinore 表示,未发现设备故障的迹象。这是运营方的初步评估,并非对所有部件完成调查后的结论。降落伞正常打开,并不能排除之后发生缠绕;而无论正常开伞还是两人的经验,都无法解释她们为何在进场时靠到一起。5
本报道尚未证实有任何关于关闭、暂停或重新开放的公告,也未核实最终的纪录挑战结果。接下来具有实质意义的进展,不是再次描述团体的目标,而是来自降落伞和飞行过程的证据,能够解释两名经验丰富的女子为何在最终进场时已安全打开降落伞,却在着陆前发生缠绕。

播出原貌
- Officials identified Levi Pimentel and Georgia Jean, the two women killed in the landing collision.
- On November 8, we reported that two licensed, experienced visitors had died at Skydive Elsinore. Their names weren't included then. Official death notices now identify both women, and a participant describes a shared goal of training toward a women's formation record.
- Investigators still need to explain how their paths crossed while they were approaching the ground with their parachutes open.
- Levi Pimentel was 29 and lived in Aurora, Illinois. Georgia Jean was 56 and lived in Box Elder, South Dakota. Both had traveled to Lake Elsinore, California, for the organized skydiving event. Their families have been notified.
- The coroner's office published the notices on November 7. Both link the women to the same incident and name the Riverside County Sheriff's Office in Lake Elsinore as the investigating agency. Pimentel was also reportedly listed on LinkedIn as a lead instructor at iFLY Naperville, an indoor skydiving company.
- Participant Chazi Rutz described the group's target as a 19-way upright formation, with 19 women participating. She described the existing benchmark as a 12-way formation. Those were the training goal and the benchmark she gave. The group was working toward a record.
- In an upright formation, the skydivers appear to be sitting in the air. The women were experienced participants working toward that collective goal. The emergency came later in the jump, during the approach to landing, after their parachutes had opened.
- Deputies found both women on the ground receiving medical aid after the air-emergency call. Ambulances took them to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar in critical condition. Both died there later that day, after being injured in a dirt field in Lake Elsinore.
- Skydive Elsinore described the free fall and parachute openings as normal. Its account places the collision close to the ground, as the women prepared to land. Rutz also described their open parachutes becoming entangled after they came too close together.
- Skydive Elsinore says the women collided about 150 feet above the ground. The company says that collision entangled their parachutes, and both suffered critical injuries when they reached the ground. That sequence places the emergency after deployment, on the approach to landing.
- The height remains an estimate. Skydive Elsinore gives about 150 feet, while an earlier account gave 15 meters. The coroner notices provide no altitude measurement to resolve that difference. The training objective also doesn't explain why the women's flight paths converged.
- Both notices record the injuries at 11:45 a.m. on November 6. Georgia Jean's recorded death came 41 minutes later, and Levi Pimentel's came 44 minutes later. Those intervals are differences between listed times. They don't measure the ambulance journey.
- The recorded injury time is two minutes before the deputy dispatch time we reported earlier. Both notices confirm November 6 as the date of injury and death. Their shared investigation links the deaths, but investigators still have to determine what brought the women together in the air.
- The word “Final” appears on both coroner notices as their status. Those notices identify the women and record where and when they died. The sheriff's investigation into the collision continues, and the notices contain no equipment determination or finding of responsibility.
- Skydive Elsinore says it found no evidence of equipment malfunction. That's the operator's preliminary assessment. The sheriff's office says the Federal Aviation Administration was notified and would collect the parachutes and investigate. Officials haven't confirmed that the parachutes have been collected or examined.
- The women's identities and the accident date are now confirmed. The landing sequence still rests on the operator's and participant's descriptions. Why two experienced skydivers became entangled after their parachutes opened, and whether equipment contributed, remains unresolved.
