Mr. Wysocki, the chief flying instructor and owner of Bald
Hill-based business Hollywood Paragliding, had sprung into action prior to the
lifeguards’ arrival.

“I’ve flown down and landed on the rocks, took my gear off and jumped in the
water to try and keep the guy’s head above water,” he said.

The swift response was crucial, Mr. Wysocki said.

“The whole paraglider can fill up with about six tonnes of water, so it can pull
you down under very quickly,” he said. “And if you have any lines caught around
you, those lines are very, very strong; you can’t break them with your hands,
you actually have to cut them off you.

“I just stayed there until the [lifeguards] arrived, and then they were able to
get the lines off his legs and tow him back to the shore.”
