Tengrinews.kz - A woman was injured during landing after a paragliding flight at the Shymbulak Resort.
The incident occurred on June 19 around 11:50 a.m. It is reported that the woman was born in 1982.
“A call came in to the emergency service ‘109’: a woman sustained an injury—presumably a leg fracture—while landing a paraglider at Shymbulak, above the Combi-1 station. The Tuyuk-Su rescue team was promptly dispatched,” the Almaty rescue service (109) said.
At the scene, specialists provided first aid by immobilizing the injured leg with splints and began transporting her.
Around 1 p.m., rescuers delivered the woman to the medical station at the Shymbulak Resort, where she was handed over to healthcare professionals.
If you're planning a paragliding flight, it's important to follow these safety precautions:
- Choose licensed instructors and reputable companies – make sure your instructor is certified and experienced.
- Follow all instructions carefully – pay close attention to the briefing and obey all directions.
- Check your gear – ensure that your paraglider, helmet, harness, and other equipment are in good condition.
- Consider weather conditions – flights are only safe in favorable weather; strong wind or fog can be dangerous.
- Dress appropriately – wear comfortable, weather-appropriate, and protective clothing.
- Disclose health issues – cardiovascular problems, panic attacks, or other medical conditions are valid reasons to skip the flight.
- Familiarize yourself with the route and landing zone – especially important in mountainous or high-altitude areas like Shymbulak.
