”Fatal paramotor accident in Lake Had Chomtawan in Thailand”


Last Saturday there was a fatal paramotor accident in the big lake shown on this photo. Two pilots were flying in connection with a Children’s Day arrangement on the beach some 5 kilometers away from here. I do not know what happened, but I guess the pilot who lost his life wanted to ”show off”, and then crashed in the water. The canopy was seen floating in the lake, but the boat which went out with people to help was too slow, and the pilot did not survive. The other pilot had a close encounter with a tree while showing of, but he was not injured.

Something to think about for paramotor pilots who like action close to the ground?
