Caught by gust of wind
Paraglider (51) seriously injured in crash
A paragliding flight ended with serious injuries for a 51-year-old woman from Eastern Styria on Friday. She was caught by a gust of wind shortly before landing in Stubenberg and crashed to the ground.
The woman from the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district took off with her paraglider from the launch site on the Kulm at around 3 p.m. and flew downhill towards Stubenbergsee. The paraglider was caught by a gust of wind.
Even though the sportswoman ultimately only crashed from a relatively low height of around two meters, she sustained serious injuries to her forearm, according to the police. After first aid, she was flown to Oberwart Regional Hospital by the Christophorus 16 rescue helicopter.
