Description
Geoff asked if all the Parachutist landed safely. There was an accident when the first parachutist of a Parachute Battalion from bBloemfontein dit the first jump on the Waterkloof Air Force Base Air Show. Here is a link regarding the accident.
A display of the country’s air force might was nearly marred by tragedy when 14 army parachutists escaped death and serious injury after a near-fatal parachuting disaster at a Pretoria air show.
The 14 paratroopers from 44 Parachute Regiment in Bloemfontein were taking part in a mass jump at the Waterkloof Air Show on Saturday, which was attended by nearly 50 000 spectators.

The near-disaster struck when the parachutists took part in a mass jump at the start of the air show.
It is believed that strong winds blew the 14 off their drop zone with several slamming hard into the ground and a number of stationary aircraft which were scheduled to take part in the show.
Blessed day and week.
God Bless.
