According to friends, Tanya Pardazi died Saturday while completing her first solo dive with Skydive Toronto in Innisfil, Ont.
The company said in a statement Sunday that the student “released a rapidly rotating main parachute at low altitude without the time or altitude required to inflate the backup parachute.”
She was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Pardazi studied philosophy at the University of Toronto and ran a successful TikTok account with nearly 100,000 followers, friends said.
She also competed in a previous Miss Canada pageant and reached the semi-finals, her friends said.
“Tanya had an interest in anything that was new and adventurous,” her childhood friend Melody Ozgoli told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday.  “Life was very boring for her and she was always trying to do something adventurous.”
Ozgoli said Pardazi was completing her solo course at the skydiving school and this was her first time jumping alone. 
“He really lived every second to the fullest,” Ozgoli said.  “This is the biggest shock for us.  It is very difficult to process.  It’s been a few days, but we still can’t believe it.”
Kimia Sepanlou, another close friend of Pardazis, said she was “one of the bravest girls”.
“Whenever we saw her, we knew we were in for an adventure because she didn’t like to let herself or those closest to her get bored,” he said.  “Everyone who met her thought the world of her.”
The incident comes a month after a 45-year-old Ottawa firefighter died in a parachute accident at an airport in Arnprior, Ont.
Last June, a 28-year-old man was also killed in an accident at the Innisfil Skydiving Club.
