Japanese Paraglider pilot spends night in a tree!

Some good points to learn from this article.

Just in case:

  • Always bring water and preferably food even when planning a short flight.
  • A stash of warm clothing and your wing can serve as a blanket.
  • 2 communications devices - cell phone and radio, can't say either one will work perfectly or that there will be a cell tower within reach.
  • Let people know when you are flying and where.
  • Have a GPS so you can give your rescue crew a specific location to find you, this could save many hours of suffering needlessly if they have to search large areas trying to find you.
