Killed skydiver's parachute 'incorrectly packed'

British skydiver Clare Barnes plunged 14,000ft to her death when her parachute failed because it was not packed properly, an interim report into the accident found today.

The Australian Parachute Federation (APF), which has been investigating the incident, blamed poor gear maintenance and incorrect packing of the parachutes for the 24-year-old’s death.
