Bavaria: paragliders have to make an emergency landing: mountain rescue service saves man

Grassau (dpa / lby) - The mountain rescue team rescued a paraglider who had made an emergency landing in the Alps from a tree near Lake Chiemsee. The 60-year-old's paraglider collapsed during the flight in Grassau (Traunstein district), said the Grassau mountain rescue service on Tuesday. The man then had to throw the rescue parachute and landed in a tree on a mountain slope. In order to save the man, nine mountain rescue workers walked to the site of the emergency landing on Monday. In the end, the 60-year-old was able to rappel down unharmed and down into the valley.
