“Devrey was as excited as ever to start working at Skydive Perris. On that beautiful day, she was a tandem instructor and did her last jump with a student. It was a normal day for her to skydive.
“Her canopy was turning on final to land safely on the grass, just likе she has done hundreds of times before. There was no problem with the plane or anything else.
“She saw what we call “dust devils” in our business—tiny tornadoes that are dаngеrous in the sport.”
“At about 40ft devrey avoid one of them, but caught a second one, with dust devils going over grass they come invisible because you can’t see any dust in the direction there going.”
