Recently, the headlines in local paper stated that Kylie Tanti, am Australian Base jumper fell to her death when her parachute failed to open during a training stint from a communication tower in Alor Setar.
It was a tragic accident…
Parachuting is a relatively safe sport but occasionally we hear of accidents like this.
A famous quote by Frank Zappa, an American composer and musician, who said: ‘The mind is like a parachute-it works only when it is open.’
Tanti sent us a powerful message through her death. Her friends described her as fearless and larger than life. It is time to check our ‘parachute’ to ensure that it functions properly.
