More fatal stupidity

In local news, the AP reports on two guys old enough to know better:
Authorities in Pennsylvania say a 70-year-old skydiver from New York and a 75-year-old one from New Jersey were killed when their parachutes got tangled. State police say Theodore Wilson, of New Rochelle, New York, and George Flynn, of Colonia, New Jersey, tumbled about 75 feet to the ground after their open parachutes became entangled in the Pocono Mountains. Wilson was pronounced dead Saturday at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg. Flynn was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, but the Lehigh County Coroner's Office says he died Sunday.
Authorities say both men died of multiple blunt-force trauma. They had jumped at Sky's the Limit Skydiving at the Stroudsburg-Pocono Airport, about seventy miles north of Philadelphia.
Rico says 'blunt-force trauma' means they hit the ground going too fast...
