NOTRE-DAME, N.B. — RCMP have identified a man killed while skydiving Saturday afternoon in New Brunswick.

Police found the body of 34-year-old Darryl Deagle, of Notre-Dame in a field in that community, about 30 kilometres north of Moncton.

Police say the man was skydiving with a group of people at the time.

According to a police statement, an autopsy has revealed Deagle died of injuries consistent with a fall from a great height.

Greg MacBeth, a veteran skydiver and instructor with Skydive Moncton, says he inspected Deagle's parachute after the accident and found nothing wrong with it.

Police say while foul play is not suspected, they are continuing their investigation to determine exactly what happened.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
