Adventure tourism turns into nightmare for tourist as glider gets entangled in high-mast pole

Thereafter, the pole was lowered and the 28-year-old woman and the paragliding instructor were rescued, police said.

Adventure tourism at Varkala beach turned a harrowing experience for a tourist from Tamil Nadu on Tuesday afternoon after she and her paragliding instructor got entangled on a more than 50-metre tall high-mast lamp pole and were left hanging from it for nearly two hours before being rescued.
As the Fire department did not have a ladder which was not tall enough, the rescue plan was to lower the columns of the high mast to bring them to safety and as a precautionary measure mattresses and nets were placed at the bottom of the pole, police said.
Thereafter, the pole was lowered and the 28-year old woman and the paragliding instructor were rescued, police said.
Both of them have been admitted to the Taluk Hospital in Varkala and are safe, police said.
The mishap occurred when the paragliders, who took off from a helipad at Varkala, were blown towards the high mast lamp pole due to a sudden change in wind direction, police said.
The glider got entangled in the pillar and both gliders were trapped hanging from the top of it.
The public alerted the police and fire service personnel when they saw the gliders hanging from the pillar.
Police said the paragliding instructor belonged to Varkala and the woman was a tourist from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

12-yr-old's death en route to paragliding site: Himachal HC steps in

The death of a 12-year-old boy, who was on his way to a paragliding site in Himachal Pradesh, has sparked concern and debate about regulation of adventure sports in the state. Even the high court has now stepped in. 12-year-old Advik had travelled to Himachal with his family in December last year. On December 22, the family from Karnataka's Bengaluru decided to go for paragliding in Bir Billing in Kangra district. Advik's father Rishabh Tripathi, who is an IT professional, reportedly said that they were being taken to the paragliding site in an unsafe and overloaded jeep when tragedy struck. The car hit a two-wheeler and fell into a 15-ft deep gorge. Advik died while his parents suffered severe injuries. The father has reportedly claimed that the jeep was carrying 9 people, even though it had capacity to seat only 5. He has also reportedly claimed that safety accessories in the car were missing. Following the tragedy, the Himachal Pradesh High Court took up the matter suo motu. It has reportedly set up a 7-member committee to verify qualifications and licenses of operators, existing safety measures, quality of equipment, etc. The High Court also held authorities responsible for lack of monitoring of adventure sports activities in the state, which leads to accidents.
