A paraglider suffered a rough landing after the take off his flight in Buda - in front of the Hármashatár-hegy airport (mainly small and glider planes). He slammed around 50 m lower his start point – into a middle of a stony and bushy brae. His mates immediately warned the Hungarian Cave Rescue Service (BMSZ) on its dedicated number (+ 36 30 79 70 79) at 13:30 on the sunny Sunday.
The alarm centre of BMSZ alarmed the central division – the fastest members reached the injured at a bit later then 2pm and immediately started the medical attendance of him. The medical staff of the cave rescue service did his medical examination, upgrade for transport – then handed over for transport the other division of the rescue service, who was presented by 17 members by that time.
The action leader decided to take him uphill to the starting point, fixed to a special stretcher: as the injured paraglider had strong pain and there was a risk of a backbone break as well.
From the take off point there was a nice trail to carry him to the parking place – where the paraglider was handed over to the Hungarian ER system. A nice moment – that on the ER car a well-known member of the cave rescue service was on service.
The injured paraglider was transported to a hospital for examination and medical attendance. We wish you a fast recovery, and safe flight for all of the paragliders!
