Paragliding ladder crashes into stone: seriously injured

A 52-year-old paragliding enthusiast was seriously injured in an accident in Ginzling, Tyrol, Austria. During his landing approach, he collided at high speed with a large rock feet-first, according to police reports. The Austrian man was rescued by a helicopter ambulance crew and transported to the hospital in Kufstein. He had been participating in a 'bike/hike-and-fly' tour in the Zillertal Alps alongside a 38-year-old German. Together, they cycled through the Floitental valley to the Greizer Hütte cable car, then hiked with glacier equipment to the 3,379-meter-high 'Großer Löffler,' reaching it around 10 a.m. They descended slightly before launching their paragliders west of the Trippachspitze.
