I was witness to a paragliding accident in which an expert parachutist (over 1000 jumps) died. The winds were about 5mph right about sunset. He experienced a wingtip deflation and spiraled in to slam his face on a rock. When I got to him he was attempting to breath and air was excaping through his forehead. I gave him CPR for about an hour before the paramedics arrived. Now go tell the family of that young man that Paragliding is "safe" . Sorry my friend, but if you think thermaling in the alps is "safe" you may be dead wrong some day. Antonio
