Paraglider narrowly avoids death after parachute fails to open

Paraglider Kevin Philipp nearly fell to his death when he attempted to perform an acro-paragliding trick in Spain and his parachute didn’t open.

The daredevil posted the video on both Instagram and YouTube, noting that “strong turbulence went wrong” and his brake line got stuck.

Acro-paragliding is already considered the “most extreme form of paragliding” as it is essentially performing fancy acrobatic tricks, like flips, in the air, according to Rise Paragliding.

While Philipp said that he can “can safely train [for] this kind of sport” with the help of “2 to 3 rescue parachutes and a lot of height,” this trick in the sky above Organyà did not go as planned.
