A man was airlifted to Westmead Hospital with head injuries after
a hang gliding accident at Forbes aerodrome on Tuesday afternoon.

It appears the man, who is from Sydney, was being towed up by a light aircraft
but shortly after he left the launching trolley he crashed back to the ground.

Ambulance media officers said his condition had been stabilised but he was
suffering serious injuries including to his head and face.

Police believe the man, in his 30s, was an inexperienced hang glider but they
have not been able to clarify exactly what went amiss on launching.
