He can be seen quickly rising into the air, reaching around 16 feet before his harness snaps. The paraglider, reportedly from Durango, quickly comes crashing down to the beach. According to local media, the crash left him hospitalised with several fractures. The incident took place last month and it is believed authorities are investigating the incident. Last October terrifying footage captured the moment paragliders collided in mid-air before plunging into the sea.

Luckily, her chute opened and, after initially becoming entangled in the mess of ropes and straps, Maud managed to even herself out in the skies over Ölüdeniz, Turkey. We pay for your stories!
