English skydiver falls to death from 29-storey Pattaya resort

A 33-year-old British Base jumper lost his life in an unauthorised stunt in Thailand's Pattaya on Saturday night, reports said.

Nathy Odinson, who is not new to daredevil stunts, reportedly climbed up a 29-storey building in the coastal resort in the popular Thai tourist spot. 

However, the Englishman fell to his death due to a parachute failure.

Odinson, however, was not alone moments before the stunt that claimed his life was executed. His last moments were caught on camera by a Thai citizen who accompanied him to the top of the building. 

Odinson excitedly counted down “three, two, one, see ya” before making the jump. Odinson, a native of England's Cambridgeshire was then heard landing in a tree before hitting the ground, The Guardian said in a report.

The footage recorded by the local, who is said to be a friend of the late man, is being shared online.

It was later found out that Odinson's pilot chute was caught in his harness, preventing it from getting deployed when pulled.

The ill-fated stuntman was known to have successfully carried out over 5,000 Base jumps and skydives across the world, the news report added.
