A skydiving instructor and student died Aug. 2 after a so-called “dust devil” of turbulent air caught them by surprise, causing a hard and ultimately deadly fall, according to Skydive Perris in Riverside County.
“The skydiving community is small and tight-knit, and this tragic loss has profoundly affected the Skydive Perris community,” company manager Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld said in a press release following the accident.
