'twas on the OK news last nite, but didn't catch where it happened..

Jump from high altitude and the jump bird pilot will bring the bird
down to pattern altitude at a mind blowing desent rate. A jumper fully
tucked up can catch and even outrun the jump plane under the right
conditions. In this case, it appears that the a/c was already down in
the pattern and the jumper blew through the pattern altitude and struck
the a/c from overhead still in freefall.
Non-survivable injuries unless the EMT's just happened to be right
there when he landed.
