A Sunday afternoon of leisure… which goes wrong. As an experienced paraglider, a man certainly did not expect to experience such a misadventure this Sunday: he remained stuck in a tree for more than two hours in the Meuse. The fault lies with his machine which, just after takeoff, was thrown by a gust, relates The Republican East.
With his wing stuck at a height of 13 meters, the victim managed to sit on a branch and waited for help. After a long intervention by Rescue in Perilous and Mountain Environments (SMPM, ex-Grimp), the man was able to be extracted, unharmed.
