Skydiving Tragedy at Skydive Elsinore Leaves Two Women Dead
A fatal collision between two licensed skydivers at low altitude has raised concerns about safety standards.
Two women died in California after their parachutes became entangled in a mid‑air collision, a tragedy that occurred on Friday.
The collision happened about 150 feet above the ground at Skydive Elsinore, where the skydiving center confirmed the incident.
The fact that both participants were licensed yet the accident occurred at such a low altitude suggests a need for stricter oversight of skydiving operations.
