Drama over Innsbruck
Paraglider plunges to his death during “stunt”
A terrible recreational accident on Sunday afternoon on Innsbruck's Nordkette mountain range. A paraglider crashed during a spectacular maneuver in front of several witnesses. All help came too late for the 30-year-old German. He succumbed to his serious injuries at the scene of the accident.
The accident happened shortly before 2.30 pm. The 30-year-old wanted to fly downhill from the Hafelekar with his "speed glider" - but apparently not without spectacular, risky maneuvers!
"Double roll" was not an option
"After taking off, he did a double roll, according to witnesses. As a result, he lost so much altitude that the second roll was no longer possible and he hit the ground with full force in the area of a steep gully," reported the police on Monday morning.
The crew of the arriving emergency helicopter continued the resuscitation measures, but these had to be aborted without success.
