I remember that.
For me it would be Bob Woodley, back in `98 at Kapowsin (WA). He saved his tandem student after a double malfunction (much higher vertical decent rate), and paid the ultimate price.
I was at the DZ that weekend, and there were two deaths in the span of two days: One tandem instructor (Bob) on Saturday, and one tandem student on Sunday. The FAA came in a shut the place down to investigate both incidents.
No fatalities there in nearly 20 years, then 2 in as many days.
