As a recreational sky and scuba diver, hard disagree on doing their role. One final safety check should have come after she checked it, a buddy checked it, she checked again, etc.
This is a bunch of amateurs trying to make money off tourists without knowing what they’re doing. I had a boat driver run into a coral reef for the same reason except thankfully no one died.

Frankly, if I was running this operation, I’d have chalked out zones requiring different amounts of equipment to proceed through, depending on how close you are to the jump.
Example, to be in this area, you need to have had a safety briefing, to be in this area, you need to have your harness and helmet on, to get to the next area, you need to be connected to a safety line, then the next area requires that you are connected to the primary line, and the last area requires that a jump director reviewed your setup and put a visible “jump ready” flag on your harness.
That’s where the horror I mention hits. The realization that things have gone wrong and that people didn’t do things they were supposed.
Everybody is acting like everything is fine, when in fact someone has made a lethal mistake and the others that were supposed to catch those mistakes haven’t.
A cascading wave of failures led to a woman’s death.
