An experienced skydiver is dead after her parachute struck another jumper at a Georgia airport over the weekend. 

Authorities have identified the victim as 48-year-old Jasmine Black, a seasoned skydiver with over 160 jumps to her credit, according to Upson County Sheriff Dan Kilgore.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Black’s parachute collided with the gear of another jumper as they both prepared to land at Skydive-Atlanta, situated at the Thomaston Upson County airport, stated the sheriff.

The second jumper landed without injury, according to the facility. 

“Every member of the skydiving community feels the impact of any loss in the sport, and this tragedy is no different,” expressed Skydive-Atlanta in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Skydive-Atlanta sends its heartfelt condolences to Jasmine Black’s family, friends, and loved ones. The team is mourning alongside everyone affected.”
