According to The Daily Mail, a Health First helicopter was seen working in the area which was covered in medical gear after the incident happened. The team rescued the injured skydivers out of the tangled harness and packaged and treated them while waiting for air transport. The responders were praised by the Titusville Fire Rescue.

The tandem was reported to be in trauma on Wednesday evening, May 13. At approximately 10:28 a.m., Brevard County Fire Rescue arrived on the scene of the crash which happened in someone's front yard. The injured men were airlifted to the hospital by Orlando Health Air Care 3 and Health First Trauma Center and First Flight Air Medical Transport.

According to the Titusville Police Department, the two skydivers were part of a duo-jump from a plane that came from Dunn Airpark. It was clarified that law enforcement is still investigating the incident, and the names of the victims have not been released yet.

It was not clarified by the authorities if the victims were jumping with a sky diving company. However, the Skydive Space Center operates from Dunn Airpark.

A skydiving tandem is considered to be the safest option for a first-time skydiver. The jumper is taken to a plane, and after a safety briefing, is harnessed to an instructor which will join the free-fall within a minute from 18,000 feet up. This is considered as one of the world's highest jump. The parachutes must be opened by the instructor, and the sail down must be 4-6 minutes.
