The male hang-glider and female paraglider flew into each other above Australia's Gold Coast before plummeting to the ground

Fortunately, the hang-glider manages to deploy an emergency parachute seconds before crashing into dense forest near Beechmont, south of Brisbane, last week.

The pair landed in foliage, tangled by ropes around 20m from the ground.

I can think of easier ways to meet women  :whistler:
