A 28-year-old Boston man died after a skydiving accident at Jumptown Skydiving in Orange, Massachusetts on Sunday, authorities said.

First responders were called to the facility around 4 p.m. for a “serious skydiving accident,” the Northwestern District Attorney’s office said in a press release.

A preliminary investigation revealed the man fell approximately 30 feet to the ground after a “sudden and unexpected gust of wind interfered with his parachute,” the DA’s office said.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was taken to Athol Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

Massachusetts State Police and the Orange Police Department are investigating the accident, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death, officials said.

Jumptown Skydiving did not respond to a request for comment Monday afternoon.

Sunday’s accident marks the second fatality at the facility within the last year.

Last October, a “midair collision between two experienced skydivers” at Jumptown Skydiving resulted in the death of a 62-year-old Connecticut man, the facility said.

Orange, Massachusetts is approximately 70 miles west of Boston.
