Pilot found guilty of using plane to decapitate skydiver

A French pilot can’t fly anymore because he accidentally killed a skydiver with his plane’s wing.

Nicolas Galy, who is 40 years old, was hit while in the air right after he jumped from a plane in July 2018.

The pilot, whose name hasn’t been given, was found to be responsible for causing someone’s death and was given a suspended sentence by the Montauban criminal court on Tuesday.

The school that hired the pilot has to pay a 20,000 euro fine.

Half of the money, 10,000 euros, has been stopped, according to French media.

According to Le Parisien, right after the plane dropped, the pilot started to lower the plane towards the airport runway.

Before the person jumped out of the flying vehicle, there was no discussion about the path the vehicle would follow, the article mentioned.

On 19th September, the victim’s relatives’ lawyer, Emmanuelle Franck, said that there was a lot of carelessness or not paying enough attention.

The head of the court in south-west France also mentioned that the victim and the pilot did not communicate well.

After the event, security has been improved and now everyone must attend briefings, according to the report.
