A paraglider was airlifted from a cliffside in the Noosa region of Queensland on December 22, after a mid-air collision with another paraglider, emergency response agency
LifeFlight said.“It’s believed two paragliders became intertwined and fell 30 metres onto a sand cliff after colliding,” LifeFlight said. “Paragliders who were flying with them landed on the beach and raced back up the cliff to assist. They found a female in her 50s who suffered abdominal and back injuries, however the male paraglider escaped without injury.”The agency said an off-duty Australian Defence Force doctor initiated first aid and the woman was stabilised for transport via helicopter to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
