There has been another fatal skydiving accident in the Hudson Valley at the same facility in just seven days.
State police say 41-year-old David Richardson took off from "Skydive The Ranch" in Gardiner and hit the ground too hard when attempting to do a “swoop landing.”
He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
On June 28, William McCartin was found dead without his parachute after jumping out of a plane that took off from the same facility.
