Hours and hours of flying pleasure and then, seconds of terror... Don't know the important facts, but the "typical" accident occurs when a pilot doesn't "clear" their turn. Looking over their shoulder to see what they will be turning into BEFORE they make their turn.
RIP fellow paraglider and all my thoughts & prayers to those injured.

Exactly why I never fly at the point. Over crowded, people don’t clear turns or disregard the rules altogether… so many other places to fly that don’t involve 200 other people trying to share a site that’s safe for 20.

Yes me too, I have a pretty low crowd tolerance, especially if I see rules of the road being broken, spidey senses tingle and I'm outta there!

Condolence’s to family 💐

News edits are ridiculous.

He was close to others, which is great except when you are in the air paragliding. Then, it's bad.

RIP Josh Ellison
