Britain's Military Greats

Imagine a tragic accident: a soldier is on a skydiving training exercise. Something goes wrong, guy dies. The authorities come out with this:
"Obviously this is a result of coming down from the jump and being unable to impact the ground softly, but . . . we're not about to say what exactly caused that," said Webb, adding foul play is not suspected.
Well...yes, I imagine that most skydiving accidents would be the result of, uh, coming down. From the jump. And hitting the ground hard.

I kind of assume it would be gravity that caused it, but I concede we haven't quite gotten there in lab this year, so I could be wrong.
