Seriously injured
Tyrol: Uncle and nephew crashed with a paraglider
During a tandem flight with a paraglider on Saturday, two Germans (55 and 20 years old) crashed to the ground in Tyrol from a height of around 30 meters in an almost free fall. The two men were seriously injured.
On Saturday afternoon, a 55-year-old German and his 20-year-old nephew went on a tandem paragliding flight together from the Unterberghorn in Kössen (Kitzbühel district). "At around 1.40 p.m., the 55-year-old probably flew a so-called acro maneuver at too low an altitude. However, this failed and the paraglider was no longer able to pick up any airflow," said the police.
Flown to hospital
The 55-year-old and his 20-year-old passenger fell from around 20 to 30 meters in an almost free fall to the ground. Both men were seriously injured and flown by emergency helicopter to Rosenheim Hospital and Kufstein District Hospital respectively.
