Paragliders

Paragliders, April 2017, Oceanside, Oregon

Second attempt to launch a paraglider above Oceanside Beach,

Saturday Night April 22, 2017

Third attempt was successful, but a side-wind carried the gliders into spectators watching from sidelines and swept everyone over the cliff into shrubbery.  
After everyone got untangled, damage assessment was made to equipment and people.  The launch was aborted and one person was transported to Tillamook County Hospital.
