A paraglider was almost paralyzed after a horrific crash in Texas.
YouTuber Anthony Vella was recording his flight in a motorized paraglider. Vella proudly and excitedly exclaimed he was going 48 mile per hour… it was then when something (a missed pre-flight tension knot) went wrong. His wing got twisted and he quickly plummeted 85 feet to the hard, unforgiving Lone Star State ground.
His agonizing recording below is understandably NSFW (language) due to his painful injuries.
Vella was recording his flight for his YouTube channel (which has 24K followers) and was being filmed from different angles which you can see in the video below.
Vella sustained a fractured neck, back, pelvis, and broken arm.
Vella will have to have several surgeries but is expected to recover eventually from his injuries.
