Eugene Stafford, nephew of a prior death victim, narrowly escaped after his parachute failed during a Waltham Merchants Association ascent for Merchants Week. A gun signal triggered his launch, the parachute opened only after a long fall, and a gust saved him from a fatal drop, though he badly sprained an ankle. Earlier in the week he faced dog attacks during a descent near Hardy Pond and tangled rope, ending with a tree climb to safety.
