"the 38-year-old Englewood woman was &#8220;swooping&#8221; when she made a turn and unexpectedly hit the ground at somewhere between 60 and 90 miles per hour. Swooping is a maneuver that involves diving straight down, then making two turns before skimming across the ground, and finally pulling the parachute."
