Cessna went into spiral during filming of a music video and Jon James McMurray failed to open parachute in time.Canadian rapper Jon James, has lost his life after falling from the wing of a flying plane while walking on a music video shoot. The management team of the 33-year-old said died instantly in the “wing-walking” accident in Vernon, British Columbia, on Saturday.
“He had trained intensely for this stunt but as Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn’t correct,”
“Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute.” Said the management.
James had also enjoyed success as a competitive freeskier and was known for carrying out extreme stunts.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed they responded to “the sudden death of a parachuter” on Saturday evening.
CTV reported the plane and its pilot landed safely.
