209km task, difficult and strong cross wind 64k first leg then to
goal, 5hrs flight (1 hour in 38 deg's start cylinder) a glider tumble's the
pilot parachute's to safety. Adam Parer a top Oz pilot, landed under his
reserve. It's not clearly apparent exactly why. He's in a stable in condition in
hospital. Maybe a few broken ribs.

My thoughts are with Adam after he broke his Aiborne Rev in flight
and separated from his glider. He free fell for maybe 10 seconds before his
chute opened. He is in hospital with a separated rib cage but seems no spinal
damage or other major injuries. I believe he was flying with a High energy chute
which is one of the only chutes designed to withstand free fall.
