    World champion skydiver, 37, plummeted to his death after parachute
    failed to open

    A French world champion wingsuit skydiver plummeted to his death when his parachute failed to open during a daring free-fall jump over Europe's
    highest peak, according to reports.

    Pierre Wolnik, a two-time freefly world champion, died Saturday after
    leaping from a helicopter above the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps
    in his wingsuit and free-falling for several seconds when his chute failed
    to deploy as he plunged toward the ground, according to French outlet Le Figaro.
