Paraglider Trapped on Power Lines

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Jan 21, 2009 at 9:35 am

Alberto Ocampo was paragliding from San Felix to Antioquia, Colombia when he became entangled in power lines 350 meters above ground.

Fog and cold temperatures hampered the rescue mission, but civil defence forces eventually lowered Ocampo back onto the ground where his family were there to greet him.

Ocampo was hanging for ten hours. Link (with video) -via Arbroath
