• Investigators say a descent spiral led to a rapid loss of altitude that Baumgartner could not stop.
• The prescribed recovery—constant, decisive input on the right steering line—was not applied.
• The reserve parachute opened only moments before impact, and autopsy findings confirm death on impact from spinal injury.
