Paraglider's terrifying close call in Spain as parachute gets tangled in mid-air

Share! :D

Paraglider Kevin Philipp had a close call in July while performing a trick in the air above Organya, Spain when his brake line got stuck, leaving him spinning above the ground, seemingly hopelessly ensnared in his own parachute lines.

Philipp said he had been performing the trick in "strong turbulence" when the issue arose. Footage captured him becoming twisted in the lines as he struggled to manually open the rescue package.

He added that the "very last chance" was to manually open the rescue package which he was able to do mere seconds before hitting the ground - thankfully at reduced speed.
