The pilot of the powered parachute was on a local flight with his 16 year old daughter as a passenger when he struck a hydro line about 100 feet AGL. The strike removed the parachute canopy from the rest of the a/c and the occupants fell onto the frozen surface of the South Saskatchewan River, receiving fatal injuries. It was reported that the pilot had recently purchased the a/c. UPDATE TSB reported that the power line was marked with a large fluorescent-colored ball, and that the weather conditions were clear and calm, with a temperature of +12 degrees C.
