Parachute didn't deploy for skydivers in fatal California jump

 Two skydivers — a student and his instructor — were killed Saturday in a tandem jump in northern California, officials said Saturday.

Their bodies were found in a vineyard in the Lodi area after someone reported them hitting the ground without an open parachute, police officials said.

It appeared the parachute did not deploy until after impact, they said.

Authorities were working to identify the bodies, but said the victims, both men, were in their 20s.

hey had jumped as part of the Parachute Center, a popular skydiving school in the state's Central Valley — advertised online as "one of the largest and oldest drop zones in the United States.”

The website offers an introductory tandem jump from 13,000 feet, with an instructor, for $100.

In May, a small plane carrying 17 skydivers took off from the Parachute Center and landed upside-down after clipping a pickup truck. No one was seriously hurt.
