A Cessna 182 had taken off from Puerto Vallarta (PVR) carrying a pilot and four skydivers.
After the first to skydivers had jumped, an instructor and passenger on a tandem jump got out of the aircraft. At the time they attempted to jump, the parachute harness became stuck on the step of the right main landing gear. The pilot attempted several manoeuvres to free the tandem jumpers but to no avail. After eight minutes the parachute deployed, causing the aircraft to loose speed. It entered a stall and crashed into the waters off Las Glorias beach. The two skydivers were killed in the accident.
