Paraglider hit by drone landed unhurt, but situation could have been 'a different story'

The Team Reporter from Franklin County News

Panmure resident Davy Binois was paragliding at Karioitahi Beach in February 2018 when his glider’s lines were struck by a drone.

Panmure resident Davy Binois was paragliding at Karioitahi Beach in February 2018 when his glider’s lines were struck by a drone.

He was about 100 metres high and enjoying the good flying conditions when he heard a small noise “like an engine”.

When he looked up, he was shocked to find a drone had become stuck in his right-hand side brake line which connected his harness to the glider’s canopy.

As a result of the multiple-propellered drone becoming tangled, Binois’ right-hand line became shorter, as if the right brakes were on, which made it difficult to steer the glider.

Binois said while it was a stressful situation, he managed to land uninjured and with “no problems”.

“It could have been a different story if the drone struck the glider in the canopy.”

This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.
