A trip to the Diedamskopf in the Bregenzerwald ended on Saturday with a helicopter flight to hospital for a 27-year-old paraglider. The man crashed shortly after take-off during a special flying maneuver and injured his foot and back.
On Saturday around 1:10 p.m., a 27-year-old paraglider pilot attempted to perform a so-called “top landing” after taking off from the Diedamskopf in the municipality of Schoppernau. According to police information, it involved a landing in the immediate vicinity of the previous take-off.

At a height of about ten meters above the ground of the take-off point, the pilot pulled the lines several times, folding the ends of his canopy. This probably caused the current to get stuck, causing him to fall to the ground.
