A 49-year-old man has died during a skydive at Dunkiswell Aerodrome in Devon. Emergency services rush to the airfield, but confirmed his death on site. Police have set up scene guards that remain in place while they carry out inquiries into exactly what went wrong. This tragedy hits close to home for the site, coming less than a year after two others lost their lives and a tandem jump there last June. That earlier incident involved a 30th birthday skydiving instructor and his 48-year-old passenger, whose parachute failed to deploy. Properly, investigations into the latest death are still underway, raising fresh questions about safety at the popular Devon drop zone. All right.
