New Delhi: People love experimenting with sports. Be it paragliding or scuba diving, these adventurous sports time and again proves to be relaxing at times as well. Being these sports associated with nature, things can turn upside down as well sometimes. One such incident has been captured from Austria, which shows a dust devil lashing a paraglider across while he was preparing for his flight.
The incident took place on March 21 and happened in Stubenberg, Steiermark. The 20-seconds clip was posted by ViralHog on YouTube. The clipping showed a man preparing himself for his flight. He was wearing his parachute when suddenly a dust devil swept him away into the air. Eventually, the man rammed into a fence and then fell to the ground. Again he was hoisted and then dangerously crashed into a tree and hung there.
Captioning the video on YouTube, he wrote, “I was preparing to launch with my paraglider when a dust devil plucked me up and smashed me into the fence, then into a tree. I did not get hurt during this incident.”

If it hadn’t been for that tree, that thing would have been long gone,” while another commented, “Is it evil that I watched it more than once and I laughed? On the other hand, I hope he’s okay, nothing broken.”
