Lisa Boyer, a 20-year-old waitress, was making her fifty-fourth free fall 100 km south-east of Los Angeles. At the end of her terrifying drop she landed in a 0.6 metre deep pool filled with sludge, breaking her back and suffering internal injuries. The Loma Linda University HosSital said she was in serious ut stable condition.—Los Angeles.
