A 65-year-old crashed into a hillside after falling from the sky in a horror paragliding accident. The victim plummeted 'approximately 40ft out of the air' after the wing of his paraglider collapsed in Lancashire on Easter Monday.
A rescue operation was launched and Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team rushed to the scene, along with an air ambulance and coast guard helicopter.
However, the air ambulance was unable to land as the ground was too steep near the injured man, Lancs Live reports. He was instead secured into a large body splint before being winched into a coast guard helicopter.
Photographs released by BPMRT on Facebook show members trying to help him at the scene on Monday evening. He was flown to Fulwood Barracks before being transported by ambulance to Royal Preston Hospital.
