Paraglider Has Brush With Death After Mid-Air Manoeuvre Goes Terribly Wrong

Title Paraglider Has Brush With Death After Mid-Air Manoeuvre Goes Terribly Wrong
Summary A paraglider had a close call plummeting towards the ocean after a manoeuvre went wrong in a scary scene. The scary scenes were taken by Fernando Damiani, on March 15th, in Uruguay. The manoeuvre is named a ‘super stall to infinity’, causing a free fall over the paragliding lines. In this instance, Fernando’s manoeuvre went terribly wrong. The lines began to tangle, causing a freefall from the sky. Luckily, he was able to pull his reserve parachute. Whilst plummeting, Fernando’s shoes almost fell off, resulting in him having to put them back on mid-air. He can be seen waving people down on a boat as he heads towards the ocean. After landing in the sea, the boat headed towards rescuing and retrieving him back to safety.
