Default Radio tower jump kills Minnesota man

Forum staff report, The Forum
Friday, November 19, 2004

Township of Somerset, Wis.

A 32-year-old man was killed when he parachuted from a radio tower in this
western Wisconsin town, authorities said.

St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead said it was foggy and Erich Wagar
of Brooklyn Park, Minn., may not have known how close he was getting to the
ground during the Wednesday jump.

Hillstead said Wager and a friend jumped from a tower owned by Infinity
Broadcasting.

The two jumped from about 940 feet and Wagar's parachute opened, but too
late to slow his impact into a hill, the sheriff said.

Eric Lunder, 29, of Hutchinson, Minn., jumped shortly after Wagar, and was
not injured, Hillstead said.
