Paraglider Mathew McHugh sues for $2 million after losing a leg at
Mona Vale rock face

Mr. McHugh was not insured, had only 30 hours’ flying experience and had never
flown at Cook Terrace when he crashed into the rock face. He fractured his spine
in four places, shattered his pelvis, broke his right ankle and foot, and waited
two hours for a rescue team to untangle him from a tree branch. He lost so much
blood doctors thought he would die.

Mr. McHugh claims the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia website should have
classed the headland as a site for intermediate and advanced paragliders and
warned that novices should not try to fly there. He also claimed Pittwater
Council should have placed a sign at the site warning of past paragliding
­accidents.

The HGFA has hit back by launching its own investigation, claiming Mr. McHugh
was flying “illegally” because he was not being supervised by a senior safety
officer or a duty pilot.
