It is with great regret that the organisers have to announce that
there were two serious accidents during the competition task today. The first
accident occurred at approximately 14.00. Argentinian pilot, Francisco Vargas
crashed into the hillside a few kilometres from launch. Emergency services were
called to the site, but the pilot died at the scene.

The second accident occurred at approximately 16.00 in the Avila area. Chilean
pilot Eitel von Muhlenbrock lost control of his paraglider and crashed.
Emergency Services arrived swiftly, but the pilot died from his injuries.

Next of kin of both pilots have been informed.

There were three further minor incidents today, involving the deployment of
reserve parachutes. All three pilots landed safely and were uninjured.

Those watching live tracking noticed Ronny Helgesen spiraling down. One poster
says that there were eight deployments.
