Fall pilot was too low for stunt

Mr Gee was attempting a "dolphin" manoeuvre when the wing collapsed

A paramotor pilot who fell to his death while attempting an aerobatic manoeuvre did not have enough height for the stunt, a report has concluded.

Julius Gee, 24, plunged 150ft (46m) to the ground when the wing of his motorised parachute deflated last June.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) report said: "The collapse of the wing was probably the direct result of the pilot's action."

It added that there was "no evidence of pre-accident material failure".

Mr Gee, from Bristol, was trying a "dolphin" manoeuvre at the UK Paramotor Championships in Tetbury when the wing collapsed.

The AAIB report said: "The wing was quickly re-inflated, but by attempting a manoeuvre at such a low height, the pilot had no margin available and there was insufficient height for him to recover.

"[A post-mortem examination] showed that the forces of the impact were such that the accident was not survivable."
