Miss Teen Canada who died skydiving was taking class where chute was supposed to open AUTOMATICALLY 

The 21-year-old TikTok influencer who was killed in a freak skydiving accident over the weekend died after her main parachute failed to open during her her first-ever solo diving class – a course organizers said was supposed to see her chute deploy automatically.

The tragedy transpired Saturday afternoon in Toronto, and saw 21-year-old social media influencer Tanya Pardazi’s life prematurely snuffed out after jumping from a plane operating out of Skydive Toronto.

Pardazi, a Canadian Beauty queen and college student who had amassed nearly 100,000 followers on TikTok, died at around 5:40 pm, after she was transported to a local hospital and succumbed to injuries sustained in the 4,000 foot fall.

Police are currently investigating the fatality – while operators of the Toronto sky diving company that presides over the course are attempting to deflect blame for the incident.

Following the death, Skydive Toronto issued a statement insisting the social media celebrity released her chute at ‘a low altitude without the time or altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate’ – a claim that has since come into question.

It’s since been revealed that the chute provided for the course – intended for divers looking to jump by themselves for the first time – was designed to deploy ‘automatically,’ casting doubt on previous assertions the accident was not their fault.

Still visible on a course description available on their website, the claims have yet to be addressed by staff at Skydive Toronto – as Pardazi’s friends and family mourn the loss of the budding star. 

Pardazi, a philosophy student at Toronto University, had completed one course with the with the company based in Innisfil, Ontario, before her death, making her eligible to undergo what organizers billed as a ‘Solo First Jump Course’ on her own.

It’s since been revealed that the chute provided for the course – intended for divers looking to jump by themselves for the first time – was designed to deploy ‘automatically,’ casting doubt on previous assertions that the accident was not their fault.

‘Increase the challenge by doing your first skydive solo!’ the online advertisement for the course in question reads, adding that the class ‘runs every Saturday throughout the season, starting at 9 am.’

Organizers went on to provide a brief description of the purpose of the promotion, which they wrote would see students ‘taught all of the fundamentals required to successfully complete your first skydive.’

The ad reads: ‘You will learn about your equipment, how to exit the airplane, freefall body position (arch), canopy control, and emergency protocol.’

It then adds that ‘weather permitting,’ learners would be ready for their first dive ‘that afternoon.’

The company then sheds some light on exactly what the course entails, particularly it culminating skydive, which sees students jump solo from a plane at 4,000 feet for ‘a fall of up to 5 seconds.’ 

It adds that during the leap, learners would be ‘dispatched by a Jumpmaster,’ who will assist them in exiting the plane. At this point, organizers wrote that students would exit the airplane still ‘attached to a static line.’

That line, organizers wrote, then ‘automatically deploys your main parachute’ during the brief fall.

Pardazi was eligible to perform a solo dive after she finished her first training course with Skydive Toronto in Innisfil, Ontario, Canada

The Toronto University student ‘released’ her ‘parachute ‘at a low altitude’ without the proper time necessary for it to inflate

‘This course includes a skydive from 4,000 feet,’ the lesson plan reads.

It then adds that after the parachute’s automatic deployment, ‘Ground Control Instructor’ will give you radio instructions over a walkie-talkie on how to navigate your parachute back to the landing area for a touchdown.’

It is not yet clear why, but in Pardazi’s case, the parachute failed to deploy.    

According to Skydive Toronto, Pardazi ‘released a quickly-rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time or altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate’ – a claim that seems to directly contradict the course description listed on their website.

‘The jumper was a welcomed recent addition to the skydiving community and will be missed amongst the student’s new friends,’ the company said.

It added that prior to taking the leap, Pardazi had been taught how to transition to her secondary parachute in the scenario the main one malfunctioned.

It is still unclear why the main parachute didn’t open. Dailymail.com has reached out to Skydive Toronto for more information behind the malfunction and the potential inconsistencies behind their claims.

Pardazi, who reached the semi-finals of the 2017 Miss Teen Canada beauty pageant when she was 16, was transported to a hospital after hitting the ground, and was pronounced dead.

She had finished just one day of ‘ground school,’ staff at the Toronto skydiving school said, where jumpers practice the maneuvers from the safety of the ground, before she was deemed qualified to dive alone. 

Her friend, Melody Ozgoli told CTV News Toronto that this was her first time jumping alone. 

‘Tanya had an interest in anything that was new and adventurous,’ Ozgoli said. ‘Life was too boring for her and she was always trying to do something adventurous. She really lived every second to the fullest.’

She added that upon hearing the news of the fatal accident, she had been left stunned.

‘I talked to her recently. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a joke. It has been a couple of days and I still can’t believe it,’ she said.

The pair had been friends for ten years after meeting in grade school.

Pardazi’s death is still a shock to her friends who can’t believe she is gone

Pardazi had 100k followers on TikTok, where she posted videos talking about a variety of topics, including ancient aliens, art history and animal science. 

Her last video, posted on August 22, was about Tetris and a puzzle she finished with the help of Adderall. 

It is unclear if Pardazi was attempting the tragic skydiving stunt for a TikTok video. 

Her friend Melody Ozgoli remembered her as never having a dull moment.

‘This is the biggest shock to us. It’s very hard to process. It’s been a couple days, but we still don’t believe it.’

Others remembered Pardazi as being ‘brave’ and popular amongst the crowd.

‘Everyone who met her thought the world of her,’ Kimia Sepanlou told CTV News Toronto.

‘Whenever we saw her, we knew we were in for an adventure because she didn’t like letting herself, or the people closest to her, get bored.’

Pardazi was a philosophy student at Toronto University at the time of her death

She attended Toronto University as a philosophy major. She shared many of her thoughts online with nearly 100k of her TikTok followers

Friends of Pardazi remembered her as never having a dull moment. Pardazi refused to be bored and always had an adventure planned, her friends said

The influencer’s fans responded to her death in disbelief. 

‘Rest in Peace my friend,’ one fan wrote. I’m sorry you were taken from us so soon. I hope afterlife is all that you imagined and more, until we meet again.’

Another added, ‘I literally cannot believe she’s gone. I’ve never met her but she’s a huge inspiration for me.’  

Pardazi’s death comes more than a month after a skydiver showcased the last moments before he was killed in an accident in southeastern Brazil. 

Andrius Jamaico, 38, died after falling on the roof of a home in the São Paulo city of Boituva on July 19.  

Footage obtained by Brazilian network TV Globo showed Jamaico receiving directions from a skydiving instructor, Paulo Mirkai, as the businessman was preparing to jump out of the airplane with other skydivers.

Jamaico jumped out of the aircraft with Mirkai holding on to his arm sleeve and leg and at one point confirmed with the instructor that he was aware of the location of the breakaway handle by touching the lever.

The skydiving instructor, who was a camera mounted on top of his helmet, subsequently releases Jamaico, who appeared to be in control before he suddenly stared to spin around.

The instructor was able to grab Jamaico by the leg but lost his grip.

Jamaico, who was skydiving only for the third time, continued to spin as the instructor deployed his parachute with the ground landing spot quickly approaching.

He fell approximately 6,500 feet from the sky and slammed into the residence’s zinc roof panel before falling to the ground. He was declared dead at the scene.
