Paratrooper killed in training accident at Fort Bragg
Kyle Rempfer
An 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper was killed during a training accident Monday, the unit said in a brief press release.
The incident occurred during static-line jump training on Sicily Drop Zone at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, said division spokesman Lt. Col. Mike Burns.
It was not clear Monday afternoon whether the death was caused by a parachute malfunction or if the chute deployed and worked as intended before the paratrooper died.

It happens occasionally. Static line jumping with hundreds of others in the air at the same time is dangerous work. That's why the army pays them extra for being paratroopers.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
