A man crashed and died with his paraglider in the Traunstein district. The screen suddenly collapsed after a smooth start during the flight, as a police spokesman said on Friday. The 61-year-old from Kolbermoor fell from a height of about 30 meters on a meadow and was fatally injured. The mountain rescue service recovered the dead with a helicopter. The man was a student pilot at the Balsberg flight school in Unterwössen, where he started on Thursday. Investigations into the course of the accident have been started.
