Earlier, a man got pulled up in the sky owing to pressure from gusty winds when he was assisting two people attached to a paragliding aircraft.

An instructor and a student were strapped into a paragliding aircraft and dressed in all the suitable gear.

The instructor was strapping belts around the student before the wind blew them up in a dangerous way that the teacher remained hanging onto the front of the harness as the paragliders get higher and higher.

However, the pilot of the aircraft acted sensibly and drag it to a lower altitude, helping the man to jump to a safe location. Fortunately, the ground worker was unharmed in the incident.
