Cilliers tangled her main canopy and removed vital links from her reserve in a toilet cubicle after he told Mrs Cilliers one of their children needed the loo. Miraculously, Mrs Cilliers, then 40, survived the terrifying fall on April 5, 2015, suffering a broken pelvis, ribs and spinal injuries. The missing slinks from Mrs Cilliers' parachute were never found and the prosecution case was that the defendant had taken them out and disposed of them. But the court heard Cilliers stored the parachute in a locker ready for Mrs Cilliers the following day instead. Jurors were shown a video of Mr Bayada inspecting the canopy and harness the day after Mrs Cilliers' terrifying fall.
