Pregnant base jumper died instantly after freefalling 990ft on final leap

Local emergency doctor Bruno Durrer, said: “Every death in the mountains is tragic but this one was particularly so because I knew her and also because she was pregnant.” Her mother Halina Zaniewska-Pettersson, 68, said: “I was always terrified every time I knew that she was doing the sport again and I kept expecting the worst.

“When she said that she was going to do one last jump while pregnant I begged her not to go.

“But she always wanted to carry on. I couldn’t force not to do it – she was old enough to make up her own mind about things.

“I am totally devastated and shocked. All that is left for me now memories,” her mother said. “She was full of life and was a wonderful girl.

But she couldn’t imagine a life without Base jumping.”

Her death is the fifth in connection with Base jumping in the Berner Oberland region this year.
