Visiting paraglider pilots: If you see a thermal updraft velocity prognosis for more than 400 fpm up on the soaring forecast page, scratching in the lee at Chelan is a very bad idea as one local pilot found out the hard way on Memorial Day 2009. In addition to multiple fractures and internal organ damage, the impact also popped one of his eyeballs out of his head. Lucky to be alive he is, and so is the fool who shot a leeside approach to launch his rescue. |
