Witnesses told Victor Valley News that the 30 year old, Sabrina Gordon, of Hesperia, went to jump, then hesitated, tried to grab a sidebar, then fell 36 feet to the ground missing the airbag which was there to break her fall. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where she died a few hours later.

FreeDrop USA is a non-mechanical attraction where participants jump from the top of a scaffolding-type structure on to a large air pillow. It is similar to a bungee jump without a cord, harness or wires. FD Event Co. LLC owns and operates the ride, which made its California debut at the event. It has been closed down pending investigation.

“She’s afraid of heights so I don’t know why she got on that thing,” Gordon’s father Lyle Bell said. “She was my pride and joy.” Bell said he plans to take legal action.

“That’s what it’s all about,” says John A. DeMarr, P.I., a licensed California private investigator since 1985, and president of John A. DeMarr Private Investigators www.demarr.com, a firm specializing in accessing public records. “A thorough prompt investigation into the facts surrounding this poor woman’s death is the only way to be sure all the facts are discovered and preserved for later testimony and or legal action.” says DeMarr. “The time line is crucial. The fresher the incident, the more useful witness statements can be.”

It all comes down to prompt action. “You need to gather all the facts as well as interview and record the witness statements right away,” DeMarr says. “Our memories are complicated, and recording the version of events as recalled by the parties and other percipient witnesses is critical and important evidence in the case.”
