"Pooley falsely told students that he was a tandem examiner," stated the U.S. Attorney's Office. This highlights the deceit involved in his fraudulent training practices.
Turner's mother, Francine Turner, described the tragic day, saying it was "hurried and rushed" at Lodi Parachute Center, pointing to lapses in safety protocols.
After Kwon's and Turner's deaths, victims and families sought refunds for Pooley's training, but he did not repay them, illustrating his disregard for their safety.
Despite a $40 million judgment for the Turner family, they reported in 2023 that they had not seen any compensation, reflecting issues with accountability in the industry.
