Shame on you Deaf for including this link. It has nothing to do with the point you all are supposedly discussing.
struck the left wing of the DHC-6 Twin Otter propeller plane at about 600 feet
At 600 feet he most certainly would have been under canopy and unless he was already under a reserve, which is not mentioned, he would have been within the grounds of the airport and on approach. As for conditions, it was in Florida.

Refering to the death of this man is a cheap shot and unnecessary. It also has no bearing on any events at Barwon Heads. If you want to draw any conclusion from it, perhaps it should be that aircraft, not skydivers are the ones who should be banned.
