Muju, South Korea — Wild footage from the slopes of South Korea where a paraglider made an emergency on an active ski trail after a 2-hour flight. Unable to find a suitable landing the zone, the paraglider was forced to touch down on the Silk Road Slope at Muju Deogyusan Resort in the midst of skiers and snowboarders making their way to the base of the mountain.
Thankfully the paraglider was able to make a soft landing on the intermediate slope and avoid the ski resort guests as they cruised past him in bewilderment of the spectacle.
“I filmed an unexpected paraglider making an emergency landing at Muju Deogyusan Resort in South Korea. The paraglider suddenly descended and landed near a busy intermediate ski slope where many skiers were present, surprising people at the scene. According to information shared on site, the paraglider had been flying for approximately two hours and was unable to find a suitable landing area, which resulted in an emergency landing on the ski slope. Fortunately, there were no collisions or injuries. Ski resort patrol staff quickly responded to control the area, and police officers later arrived to investigate the cause of the emergency landing.” -Si Cheon You
