## Summary

Two skydivers, Georgia Jean, 56, and Levi Pimentel, 29, died after their parachutes became tangled during a jump near Lake Elsinore, California. The collision, about 150 feet above the ground, is under investigation; it remains unclear whether strong winds contributed.

A 2015 blog post showed Jean had struggled with training and feared she might be a “deathwish time bomb”, though she later competed and won a bronze medal in 2024. Pimentel was an experienced instructor at an Illinois indoor skydiving facility. The operator said both parachutes opened normally and reported no mechanical failures; gusts reached 20 mph, and the FAA has been notified.
