He walked too far out on the wing and made the small aircraft go into a downward spiral, his management team said.
“Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly,” said Ryan Desrochers with the management team told CNN in a statement. source
The pilot of the plane was able to control the plane and land safely. No one else was injured, reported CNN partner CBC.
