PROVO, Utah — A man died Saturday afternoon after he fell while BASE jumping in Provo.

Provo Police said the victim, 33-year-old American Fork resident Weston Huff, fell to his death around 12:50 p.m. in the "Bad Bananas" area of Rock Canyon.

Police believe Huff was attempting to perform a BASE jump from the top of the canyon when his parachute malfunctioned. They said he was an experienced sky diver but was recreating alone.

"Our sympathies are with the family and loved ones of [Weston] Huff," Provo PD said in a statement.
