A harrowing paragliding accident left spectators in shock after a woman's parachute collapsed mid-flight, causing her to plummet to the ground. The incident, captured on video, shows the terrifying moment her equipment failed, sending her spiralling uncontrollably.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud "snap" as the parachute lines gave way, leaving the paraglider with no control over her descent. Miraculously, she survived the fall but sustained serious injuries.
Emergency Response
Emergency services rushed to the scene, airlifting the woman to a nearby hospital. Paramedics described her condition as "stable but critical", with fractures and internal injuries requiring immediate surgery.
Investigation Underway
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the malfunction. Early reports suggest possible equipment failure or pilot error, though no official conclusions have been reached.
Local paragliding clubs have issued safety warnings, urging enthusiasts to double-check equipment before flights. "This serves as a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong," said one experienced instructor.
