A paraglider narrowly escaped death after an aircraft tore through her chute whilst she was up in the air in the Salzburg region of Austria. Footage posted by Instagram user @sab_thi on Sunday (24 May) shows a light aircraft colliding with the chute, sending her spinning through the air. She activated a second chute after the collision. "The day a Cessna 172 takes you out of the sky while you're paragliding," she wrote. "I still can't quite believe I'm sitting here typing this, and apart from a few nasty bruises and some general contusions, nothing really happened."
