The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the incident happened in Jean around noon Wednesday. FOX5 confirmed with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officials that two people left the scene with critical injuries.
FAA officials said they investigate the packing of the main and reserve parachutes and the rules of the flight for the pilot and aircraft.
