Condition of man injured in Sebastian skydive unchanged By Adam L. Neal staff writer April 26, 2005 SEBASTIAN — Police officials on Monday released the name of an injured sky diver who appeared to have miscalculated a maneuver Sunday afternoon, but his condition was unchanged at a Melbourne hospital. David Mor, a 26-year-old resident of Israel, remained in critical condition Monday evening at Holmes Regional Medical Center, according to hospital officials. He was flown to the hospital about 2:30 p.m. Sunday after performing the jump at Skydive Sebastian, a 12-year-old business that allows seasoned parachutists and first-time jumpers with an instructor to sky-dive near the Sebastian Municipal Airport. Mor, reportedly an experienced sky diver, began his solo descent shortly after 2 p.m. Witnesses told police Mor appeared to have lost control between 75 feet and 150 feet in the air while attempting a high-performance maneuver. The apparent miscalculation caused him to "impact the ground at a high speed" at about 70 mph, according to a Sebastian Police Department incident report. Witnesses reported Mor landed parallel to the ground, hitting his face and chest first, the report stated. Police reported the Federal Aviation Administration will not investigate the incident because Mor's parachute and equipment appeared to have worked properly, said Sgt. Denis Hovasse of the Sebastian Police Department.
