The parachute exercise was carried out with a few other teammates at a height of 915 metres (3,000 ft) and one of his teammates claimed that he tried reaching out to him through a walkie-talkie at around 304.8 metres (1,000 ft) in the air but there was no reply.
This was when he was believed to have fainted. His parachute was still open, causing him to glide in the air before ending up on the roof.
We’re sorry to hear what happened to him and we wish him a speedy recovery!
