British man killed in mid-air skydiving accident 50 feet above ground Witnesses reported that conditions in the area were "still and sunny." Neither man has been named. A spokesman for the Magpas Helimedix medical charity said the man was in a stable condition when he arrived at the hospital. "Sadly despite all the best efforts of the Helimedix a man was pronounced dead at the scene, our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time," said Magpas in a statement today. Cambridgeshire police and the East of England Ambulance Service also attended the scene of the accident. Sibson Airfield is one of two bases for UK Parachuting, which offers skydiving courses and charity jumps. It has been home to a parachute centre since 1971 and was one of the first civilian drop zones in the country. It is also a centre for general aviation. An ambulance spokesman said: "[We] were called to Sibson at 3.32pm and immediately dispatched two ambulances and a manager to the scene followed by a request for Magpas air ambulance to attend because of the seriousness of the incident. All emergency crews worked very hard together to try to save the life of one of the men involved but despite the best efforts of crews he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and loved ones. We wish the second casualty all the best for a good recovery. The company declined to comment and referred inquiries to the British Parachute Association, the sport's governing body with a spokesman unavailable for comment. A Cambridgeshire Police spokesman said the BPA would be investigating the accident. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is not be investigating since no aircraft were directly involved. Last September a pilot was killed when his light aircraft hit power lines near the airfield, which is close to the A1.
