Video shows tourist clinging for life onto hang glider in Switzerland

November 27, 2018

A nerve-wracking piece of video shows a tourist clinging for life onto a hang glider in Switzerland. Chris Gursky’s harness was not properly attached when he and a pilot launched themselves off a 4,000-foot mountain ledge.

It was his first hang gliding flight. For more than two minutes, he dangles from the hang glider, flying over trees as they head toward a large grassy landing area.

He wrote later on Facebook that he remembers looking down, thinking “this is it.” Gursky said as they approached the landing area his hand began to slip while he was swinging in the wind.
