Skydiver plummets to death in Arizona - the second parachutist to lose their life there in just over a week

An Arizona man died while skydiving over the weekend during a "hard landing," making him the second skydiver to die in the area in just over a week.

Shawn Bowen, 46, of Gilbert, Arizona, died from injuries he sustained after his parachute failed to open during his jump toward Eloy, Arizona, according to the Eloy Police Department. Bowen exited an airplane around 11:40 a.m. Saturday in what police described as a "wingsuit-type apparatus" and began his descent, FOX News Digital reports.
