As a group of skydivers climbed out of the aircraft at 12,500 AGL, the main parachute of the rearmost jumper deployed over the horizontal stabilizer, dragging the jumper off the aircraft and into the horizontal stabilizer. The pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and land normally. The unconscious jumper with the premature deployment landed under a streamered main parachute. The jumper was life-flighted to Edmonton, but died in hospital the next day.
