Intentionally Unhooked 'Chute, Died On Impact With The
Ground
Investigators are puzzled by the suicide of a skydiver.
60-year-old Bob Raecke of Duanesburg, NY had lots of experience,
with 9,000 logged jumps. For some reason, last Sunday, he stepped
out of an airplane near Saratoga Skydiving Adventures, but instead
of deplying his parachute, he intentionally unhooked his rig, and
died on impact with the ground.
