A very lucky man

At the risk of being critisised as it is non-powered I'll put this one here

Basically while operating in an area not normally used came into contact with an 11000 volt overhead line.
only released after local electric staff made line safe (fortunately they were not far away having dealt with another job in area)

The paraglider was new and uninsured
