Mountain rescuer eyewitness
Crashed paraglider rescued from a tree
A paraglider crashed into a tree in Neustift in the Tyrolean Stubai Valley on Sunday afternoon. Fortunately for him, it was the head of the mountain rescue team who witnessed his accident.
The mountain rescuer watched a paraglider crash in Neustift at around 2.50 p.m. on Sunday and immediately made an emergency call. The emergency helicopter that was alerted then discovered a paraglider hanging in a tree during a reconnaissance flight.
The rescuers then also discovered the pilot, who was hanging in his harness at a height of around ten meters. The Neustift mountain rescue team then launched an extensive rescue operation.
The paraglider pilot, who had become stuck in his harness in the trees around ten meters above the ground, was then rescued at great expense.
