Pardazi, a philosophy student at the University of Toronto, had just finished her solo class at the skydiving center. She fell to her death during her first solo skydive on August 27. 

“The skydiver released a quickly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time/altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate,” skydiving center said in a statement via Facebook. 

“The jumper was a welcomed recent addition to the skydiving community and will be missed amongst the student’s new friends and fellow jumpers of Skydive Toronto Inc. The team at Skydive Toronto Inc has been profoundly affected by this accident as they have refined their student training program for over 50 years.”
