Police report instructor Justin Fuller "appears to have fallen from the sky without a safety chute" during the jump on the weekend. The instructor, 35, appeared to have detached from his student and a dual harness, which links the two during a jump and includes the parachute. A law enforcement aircraft located the instructor's remains in a wooded area hours later. The Nashville Fire Department used several ladders to access the middle-aged student who lived through the descent after being stuck on a tree branch for hours with the backup chute. Officials said three other dives, which took place near a local airport, were successfully completed prior to the fatal fall. Aircraft from which they leaped also touched down without issue. It is unclear how Mr Fuller, an experienced skydiver, became separated from the safety equipment. A individual who helped rescue teams in the operation informed a media outlet the client who authorities rescued mentioned "he was a first-time jumper, and it was going to be his last". Mr Fuller had previously posted about his passion for instructing people how to skydive. "Teaching people to parachute has consistently been in my opinion the most rewarding job at the drop zone," Mr Fuller said in an social media update in the summer. "Watching them learn the skills and begin maneuvering their bodies is always a heartwarming moment. Occasionally though, it can get a little hectic up there when you let someone go for their first time." During that period he shared images of the wreckage a jump aircraft he was on noting the plane's engine had failed after departure. All 20 people onboard lived through the incident.
