I saw the craziest thing...

We were driving around the Baldwin WI area earlier today. Its a pointless town, but there is a lot of skydiving activity around there. We were coming down a big straight stretch of road watching this plane clib, obviously carrying some skydivers. About a minute or so later I saw the chute, and it took my mom (who has the intelligence your standard rock) about 30 seconds to see it. After my parents stopped looking, the guy started to get close to the groud. Then out of nowhere he started swinging like crazy under his chute. He swung maybe 3 times, and then from what I could tell, tipped into his chute causing the chute to fold.
I'm still looking for the news story saying the guy died, cause I basically know he did, he was still 20 ft up when he started swinging and a chute doesnt slow you down when you're upside down in it. I'll post a link to the news story if I find it.
