This is the sickening moment a thrill-seeker loses his life after his parachute fails to open in time and he crashes to the ground. The base jumper's friend landed safely moments after his pal - identified locally as a 50-year-old German - died instantly after hitting rocks at the back of the sandy beach. Distressing footage taken by an onlooker showed the horrific sequence of events leading up to yesterday's tragedy in the Portuguese fishing town of Nazare, famous as a surfing destination where world records have been broken.
