Second Fatality at UK's Busiest Drop Zone Follows Earlier Safety Warning

A 22-year-old experienced skydiver died at Skydive Langar, Nottinghamshire, on July 5, 2026—the UK's highest-volume civilian drop zone with over 50,000 annual jumps. British Skydiving, the national governing body, had issued Safety Notice Bulletin SN-01/26 in April 2026 following a separate fatality at an affiliated facility. The timing signals elevated regulatory scrutiny across the network; a coroner's inquest will determine whether equipment, procedure, or other factors contributed.
