Skydiver, 52, Dies in 1,500m Fall After Parachute Fails to Open

A 52-year-old skydiver has died after her parachute reportedly failed to open during a solo jump in Argentina. Rosana Mabel Back, a therapist and professional writer, was using unfamiliar equipment when the incident occurred on Sunday near Miramar, around 200 miles south of Buenos Aires.

The Aero Club Miramar expressed deep regret over the accident, stating: 'We are providing support to her family, loved ones, and colleagues in this difficult time.' The club also noted that it has no connection with the skydiving activity taking place at the provincial airport premises.

The Argentine Writer's Society paid tribute to Back, saying: 'We are left with memories of sharing her friendship and that warm laugh that best characterised her.' An autopsy has been ordered, and experts will review the equipment for potential faults as an investigation continues.
