Acrobatic paraglider crash lands into lake
- 8 years ago
Footage of an "acorbatic paraglider" having a lucky escape after he was forced to crash land into a lake while practising stunts.
The video, filmed in Italy on April 13, shows the paraglider spinning and stalling but something happened to one of the wings of the glider meaning he had to open his reserve parachute, and went crashing into a lake.
The filmer later wrote online: "The idea of this training is to give confidence and ability to control your glider.
"He [the paraglider] opened his reserve parachute, because he was flying above a lake and he didn't have enough altitude to land on terrain."
