death at a contest dedicated to Vladimir Putin&#8217;s upcoming 71st birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dmitry Belyayev, 45, was filmed swooping in at high speed from a height before hitting the water at a planned event in Gudermes, Chechnya.<\/p>\n<p>The full video shows Belyayev spin across the surface of the water before going under the water.<\/p>\n<p>Onlookers are seen rushing to help the daredevil skydiver, a member of the Russian national team, as his parachute starts to sink.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian University of Special Forces has hosted several parachuting competitions dedicated to Putin&#8217;s birthday tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

had completed over 3,700 jumps<\/p>\n<p>The Parachuting Federation of Russia issued a statement saying: &#8216;The tragedy occurred while piloting a high-speed parachute.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;According to preliminary data, during his landing approach the parachutist made a mistake and did not calculate the height of the manoeuvre, as a result of which he collided with the water surface at an increased vertical speed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There were rescue services on site, including a mobile disaster medicine unit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Medical workers fought for Dmitry&#8217;s life from the first minutes of the collision, and resuscitation measures were carried out on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Doctors were unable to save the athlete&#8217;s life.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The federation said &#8216;this is an irreparable loss for the entire parachute community&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We express our condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased,&#8217; it added.<\/p>\n<p>Belyayev was from Pushkin, near St Petersburg, and had completed more than 3,700 jumps over the course of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Canopy piloting &#8211; also known as swooping &#8211; is considered highly dangerous and involves a skydiver performing aerial feats above a body of water.<\/p>\n<p>The parachuter is tested for speed, distance and accuracy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
