We watched the paragliders in the alps while there in the summer. We were with some pilots. We all just shook our heads. Then went off for good food

Very surprised the 172 didn’t crash! The paraglider has an emergency parachute the 172 does not. Undoubtedly both Pilots needed a change of underwear afterwards...lol

“The paraglider, a 44-year-old woman named Sabrina, posted footage of her flying near the scenic Schmittenhöhe mountain in northern Austria Saturday afternoon when a small sightseeing plane suddenly plows right through her rig — just feet above her head.” Must have been on her bucket list.

The fighting for her life wasn’t the injuries, it was the scrambling to reorient and safely deploy her reserve, a task which if she had failed to do, she almost certainly would have died.

In keeping with the lost art of writing these days, that headline is absurdly written and illogical.

Dont text and fly. Pilot should be kicked in the balls right after yanking his ticket.

This is why we’ll never get those flying cars we were promised.

She fought for her life to make a safe landing, certainly.
