A hair-raising incident has come to light from Karnataka’s Kodagu where a paraglider had to do crash landing owing to an engine failure. It was reported that both the paraglider-borne men survived the crash landing, however, faced injuries.

The crash landing transpired on the main road located near Lakshmana Tirtha river at Nittur in Karnataka’s Ponnampet Taluk.

In the video, a high speed paraglider can be seen crash landing on an almost deserted highway, however, a car can be seen coming from the other side which promptly swerved from the trajectory of the crash landing. The car can be seen getting off the road after witnessing the paraglider come towards it.

The prompt action by the car driver stopped the incident from taking an ugly turn as the paraglider and the car close shaves and narrowly escapes from colliding into each other.

Twitter reactions

After the video went viral, one user wrote and said that rather than the paraglider, the car survived from what could have been a horrific accident, implying that the car would have had more impact as a paraglider was coming in their direction.

Another user wrote and said that was a rough landing, implying that the pilot must have had a tough time landing the paraglider as the landing looks to be crass and abrupt and not smooth at all.

Another user wrote and questioned what happened to the van, implying that the van must have faced some sort of impact due to the crash landing of the paraglider.
