Last Monday a 43 year old beginner paraglider lost control of his wing when taking off, hitting a tree in the sa Torre area of Llucmajor. The impact affected his femoral artery causing a severe blood loss.

Luckily, his friends acted quickly and performed a tourniquet. The ambulance informed Son Espases hospital of the importance of his injuries, so he was able to go directly into the operating theatre where he received a transfusion. He is now out of imminent danger.

Mallorca is a beautiful place to go paragliding, but it is a dangerous activity. We recommend hiring a professional instructor. Many activity companies on the island can take you paragliding.
