Footage out of Grand Forks reveals the paraglider cruising over the Purple River when impulsively issues go haywire … the wing will get caught in an influence line, setting off a large blue spark and a flame.
Snarled within the energy line, the paraglider’s propeller-powered cart flips and crashes upside-down into the river beneath.
Extremely, the paraglider walked away from this unhurt … native media outlet KVRR studies the Grand Forks Fireplace Division confirmed as much as rescue the pilot with an help from a ship.
This all went down Tuesday night time after sundown … and the paraglider’s fortunate of us noticed this occur and known as for assist.
Paraglider wings begin at about $3,000 … so this was one expensive mistake!!!
