Paraglider accidents in Schwyz: Two pilots in dangerous situations!
On Sunday, February 23, 2025, two shocking accidents with paragliders in Switzerland occurred, which had serious consequences for the pilots involved. In Schwyz, two flight students started a tandem training flight, but the 31-year-old pilot soon noticed that the paraglider was not really excited. This meant that the aircraft moved towards the forest instead of into the valley. The pilot cleverly steered on a nearby meadow, where a gentle landing was achieved. However, the paraglider got stuck in a power and telephone line and started fire. Thanks to the rapid intervention of the fire brigade and the Schwyz district of Schwyz, the burning paraglider could be recovered. Fortunately, both the pilot and his 29-year-old passenger remained unharmed, but there was considerable damage to property on a current mast. The incident is currently being examined by the Schwyz cantonal police and the Federal Prosecutor's office, as reported.
