The family of a 29-year-old man who died in a skydiving accident Saturday morning in Longmont identified the victim as Brock Barto of Frisco.
They noted that he was an avid skydiver with an inspiring passion for a sport.
Longmont police Sgt. John Wederquist says rescue crews responded Saturday to reports of a man in his 30s who apparently misjudged his landing and hit the ground hard.
According to witness reporters, Barto's parachute was opened and seemed to be working. Authorities were told it looked as if Barto was attempting a maneuver and misjudged the timing.
