October 28th 2024.
Amanda Gallagher, a 37-year-old skydiver, tragically lost her life while pursuing her passion. She was at an airfield in Kansas, taking pictures of her fellow skydivers as they boarded and exited the planes. In a tragic turn of events, she accidentally walked backwards into a propeller and suffered critical injuries.
Emergency services were quickly called to the scene and Amanda was rushed to the hospital, but despite their efforts, she sadly passed away on October 26. Her friends have set up a GoFundMe page to help her family with the funeral costs as they cope with the devastating loss of their daughter.
While the incident is still under investigation, it is believed to be purely accidental. In a moving tribute, the organizer of the GoFundMe page, Abbey Charboneau, described Amanda as a kind, adventurous, and beautiful person both inside and out. She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend who will be deeply missed.
Ashley Nicole Willard, a close family friend, also shared her thoughts on Facebook, remembering Amanda as a sister. She suggests holding a ceremony in Amanda's honor or creating a permanent display to honor her love for photography and her newfound passion for skydiving.
Cook Airfield, where the incident occurred, also released a statement expressing their condolences. They urged everyone to keep Amanda's family, friends, and her skydiving community in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The airfield also stated that they will not speculate on what could have been done differently, as they were not present during the incident.
