Hang glider pilot rescued after falling near the Mala dam

A hang-glider pilot was rescued by helicopter after suffering a fall near the dam at Mala on Saturday.

The incident occurred at around 11.30 on Saturday morning, and was attended by firemen, local police and Emerlan operatives.

Owing to the inaccessibility of the zone, the 61-year-old victim was evacuated by helicopter.

The incident is the third case of a hang-glider pilot having to be rescued in recent weeks.
