Andy McNicol is the British Paragliding Champion, but he lost control of his paraglider during an 'easy recreational flight' in Tenerife. We discuss the causes of the crash, and possible solutions.
Andy adds: "The problem is that there will always be times we need to get in tight to make it work. It’s a dangerous sport, we mostly get away with it, but there will always be that one time when we don’t, hiding around the corner."
