The NTSB has repeatedly flagged the skydiving sector for insufficient regulation compared to commercial aviation, allowing problems to fester. Just two years ago, a similar crash near the same airport occurred—though everyone survived—when a skydiver’s parachute snagged the plane’s tail, triggering the accident. Experts point to a consistent pattern: sloppy maintenance and a fragile safety culture. The FAA’s rules for skydiving are notably looser than those for airlines, and past incidents—including a fatal 2019 crash in Hawaii where a wing was left unrepaired—show how inspections can miss critical flaws. Despite an overall strong safety record, these recurring issues demand urgent attention. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
