Hang Gliding - Rushed Flight to Aide Downed Pilot

The pilot concerned has given consent for this video to be published. It conveys the personal thoughts of the author at the time and is not intended to speculate on the cause or outcome of the accident. Fly safe everyone!

Update: This video has certainly generated far more attention than expected. Despite some of the comments, the pilot did make a full recovery and returned to flight despite the seriousness of the impact (which was not captured on video). The accident was a result of the pilot not rigging the glider correctly, not doing a thorough pre-flight check and taking off with no control of the glider.

The 2014 February SkyWings has the summary of the crash investigation and there's a little more detail over on my website here:
