Paraglider videotaped his own wreck in the mountains

The paraglider posted shots to the Network that captured the incident with his participation on July 10 in the commune of Lauterbrunnen, the Swiss canton of Bern.

As the author of the video said, that day was favorable weather, and nothing foreshadowed trouble. In the valley of the Bernese Alps, where these shots were taken, flights took place - there were many paragliders in the air.

Ten minutes after takeoff, at an altitude of about 500 meters, the user who shot this video lost control of his aircraft. A strong gust of wind threw him on the slope.

"Miraculously, I was still conscious, and the glider was flying," the paraglider himself described the incident.

As a result, the man managed to land safely, collected equipment damaged during landing, and walked five kilometers to the nearest station, where he boarded a train and went to the hospital.

According to him, he suffered a spinal injury, numerous bruises and lacerated wounds, but three days after the accident he rose again on the reserve paraglider.
