A British man was killed in an
accident while BASE jumping in the Italian Dolomites on Sunday,
sources said.
Robert Haggarty, who was in his late 40s, threw himself off a
cliff wearing a wingsuit at a Agordino at around 2,894 metres
above sea level.
Something went wrong and Haggarty smashed into the mountain
even though he activated his parachute.
He was on a trip with a group of 25 BASEjumpers.
He is the latest in a long string of people killed while
practising the extreme sport, although he is the first in the
northeaster region of Veneto this year.
