When Paragliding Goes Wrong: A Rooftop Landing You Won't Forget!

In a stunning example of how quickly things can go south, a paraglider crash-landed on the rooftop of Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland. Captured on video, the thrill-seeker was the epitome of bliss as he soared through the sky, that is until he accidentally transformed his flight of fancy into an unexpected rooftop rendezvous. The footage shows him zipping through the air, only to collide with the hotel with an unforgettable thud.

What followed was a spectacle of sliding and dangling from the edge of the roof, making for a dramatic scene just waiting for a comedic soundtrack. Emergency services quickly arrived, and the man was taken to South West Acute Hospital, but thankfully, he is expected to recover. A spokesperson for the resort even offered their best wishes while confirming the establishment had reopened. It’s a classic case of flying too close to the ground, but hey, at least he now has one heck of a story to tell!
