Two die skydiving in Florida, said to be from Iceland

Editor’s note: As my readers will testify, your ProbateShark is a very tolerant fish. Aside from crooks in Probate Court, wolf killers and the brutalization of sharks, he will tolerate almost any activity that does not detrimentally effect or harm another person.

An individual who sky dives should be treated for Munchausen’s Syndrome, a disease whereby a sufferer surgically removes perfectly healthy organs. A parachute is an emergency escape device to exit a fatally ill aircraft not a thrill seeking toy. Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

(Reuters) - Two skydivers from Iceland, one an instructor and the other a student, were killed in a skydiving jump on Saturday, Florida media reported.

The two men were part of a group of 22 skydivers who jumped from a plane in Zephyrhills, about 30 miles northeast of Tampa, according to the Tampa Tribune newspaper.

When only 20 of those who jumped returned, authorities launched a search and found the bodies of the two men a few hours later, Florida media said.

The two men were from Iceland, according to Skydive City, which planned the jump, the Tribune reported.

Their identities were not released.

A spokesman for the Pasco County, Florida Sheriff's Office could not be reached for comment.
