Mishaps occur. - German pilots suffer crash in Austrian territory
On Wednesday afternoon, a guy tried to glide over the 2680-meter-tall Swanspeak at a low altitude. Unfortunately, his paraglider lost shape due to weak winds, based on a police report. A fellow paraglider pilot saw the crash and told the rescuers. The injured man had fallen in tough-to-reach terrain, so they had to send a chopper from the police squad to find him. Later, he was transferred to Klagenfurt Hospital with severe injuries. The police claimed the woman's crash was a flying mistake. She landed in a field full of tall grass while trying to touch down at Greifenburg's landing spot. She was carried to Spittal Hospital with wounds.
Differences between the two hobbies: Paragliders use a wing-resembling toolcrafted from dual fabric, while people who fly hang gliders or dragons utilize a triangular sports equipment with a metal skeleton. Paragliders typically sit under the flying machine, but hang gliders are in a lying-down position. These details are derived from the documents made by the authorities.
