Nathy Odinson Video Skydiving Viral On Social Media
33-year-old British base jumper died in Thailand after his parachute failed to open when he jumped from a high-rise building in the eastern beach resort of Pattaya, according to UK media reports.
Police were called to a 29-story apartment block on Saturday evening after eyewitnesses reported seeing a person crash through a tree and fall to the ground. Police said they found a blue parachute, which had not opened, on the man. The social media handles of the victim, identified as Nathy Odinson, suggest that he was an experienced parachutist.
Nathy’s brother revealed the “simple" mistake he made with his parachute that caused him to plunge to his death, UK’s Daily Mail reported. Ed Harrison, 39, has said chilling video footage of the Nathy’s last moments shows that his pilot chute was entangled in his harness, leaving “no chance" for it to deploy.
The building staff said the man had got to the top floor with friends who were filming him, reports said. This sport, which involves jumping with a parachute from high landmarks, has become increasingly popular among foreigners living in Southeast
Only a handful make a living from the social media attention generated by daredevil videos. However, with just a few seconds before impact, there is little room for error, and the activity carries a higher fatality rate than skydiving.
Last March, a British man died after base jumping in southeast France, BBC reported. “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Thailand," a UK Foreign Office spokesperson said on Sunday.

What caused Nathy Odinson’s death?
Ed Harrison, the brother of Odison, told The Daily Mail that he made a simple mistake that caused his brother’s accident. There was no chance that Odinson’s mini pilot chute would have deployed because it was caught in his harness, according to the video recording of him in the final moments before the jump.
The Mirror claims that before falling to the ground, Odinson collided with a tree. At about 7:30 p.m. local time, paramedics were rushing to the condo when images appeared of the failing blue parachute pooling around his body. On the spot, he was pronounced deceased.
Security guard Kanet Chansong, who was there when the terrible accident occurred, stated that when he heard the tree’s sound, he initially believed it to be a fallen branch striking the ground. Later, he walked over after hearing a woman scream and saw that it was a human, but he had passed away. He said that Nathy Odinson had previously broken into the building illegally to skydive and to create video content for social media.
Official statement
Police Lieutenant Kamolporn Nadee, the Bang Lamung district police station’s deputy inspector of investigations, reportedly stated to the Mirror that the deceased’s parachute did not open as intended and was not centred properly. When the officials got there, he was in a horrible state. He continued by saying that the friend’s video had been reviewed as evidence and that more research was being done on the matter.
