No action is to be taken against a Perthshire skydiving club where a Dundee woman was injured when a 3500ft solo charity jump went wrong.
The British Parachute Association reviewed a report into Zoe Sievwright’s jump last month and concluded it was simply an “unfortunate accident.”
The 29-year-old mother was left with a serious leg injury after slamming into the ground after a descent in which both her main and reserve chutes failed to deploy properly.
She had been jumping in memory of Dundee brain tumour victim Cheryl Button when she got into trouble shortly after leaving the plane.
Zoe’s first chute became tangled up within seconds of making her leap and she took the decision to cut it away. Incredibly, the reserve then caught in the main chute and she came down hard.
Zoe who feared she was going to die was rushed to Ninewells Hospital for emergency treatment. She is now recovering at her Lochee home.
BPA technical officer Tony Butler confirmed the authority had found “nothing wrong” with Skydive Strathallan’s procedures or the equipment Zoe used.
Mr Butler added: “There are accidents at all parachute clubs and Skydive Strathallan is certainly not worse than any other club.”
Club chairman and chief instructor Kieran Brady said: “I submitted a report to the BPA and I also took the equipment to them for inspection.”
He added: “Since the incident I have not spoken to Zoe but I wish her well.”
