A newlywed has died after her parachute failed to open during a Base jump in America.
Amber Bellows, 28, fell 2,000 feet to her death in Zion National Park, Utah.
She had climbed to the top of Mount Kinesava, in the southern part of the park, on Saturday with her husband Clayton Butler.
Amber jumped first, and as she was falling Clayton, 29, saw that her parachute was failing to open.
He immediately jumped off to follow her.
Officials later found Ms Bellows' body after a helicopter search.
The couple, from Salt Lake City, Utah, married two weeks ago.
Ms Bellows was an experienced Base jumper.
It is the first time anyone has died from Base jumping in the park - where the activity is banned.
Acting Superintendent Jim Milestone said in a statement: "It is just really sad and our condolences go out to her family and friends.
"Base jumping is so dangerous, even for those that are experienced, like Amber Bellows.
"That is one of the reasons it is not allowed in the park."
