A British man with his ultralight aircraft came into turbulence in the area of Albeck /Gurktal Alps. While the plane got into a spin he pulled the emergency parachute and ended hanging with the parachute in trees and then could step out just above ground. The aircraft was significantly damaged.
(Excerpt from source update 5min.at)
Original news spoke about a glider, because it was told about a parachute. It wasn’t noticed not that a ultralight has a rescue system with parachute:
„The glider crashed as the pilot lost control because of heavy turbulence. The pilot bailed out safely by parachute.
The glider was completely destroyed.“
