34 year old Kristin Renee Czyz died on May 13, 2016 BASE jumping off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls.  But what happened?  She'd done this hundreds of times before.

We originally reported that her chute wouldn't open, she landed in shallow water and was pronounced dead shortly after that by the Twin Falls Sheriff Department.  Click HERE to read that story.

 

After detailed research and investigating it's been determined that Kristin had a hole in her pilot chute.  The pilot chute is supposed to pull the main parachute from the pack.  There was also a broken zipper found on her harness.

 

Kristin packed her own parachute which is standard practice for almost all BASE jumpers.  Boaters retrieved her body from the Snake River and attempted CPR.  Kristin was soon after pronounced dead at the docks of the Centennial Waterfront Park.
