Here are some of the most epic paragliding-related mishaps that have befallen our team:
Our team's star paraglider, John, managed to get his paraglider tangled in a tree branch during a routine jump. The resulting photos of him stuck in the air with his legs dangling 10 feet off the ground made the whole office floor laugh.
Lesson learned: always check for branches.
Our marketing director, Mike, tried to paraglide into a lake during a team-building event. The resulting splashdown left him soaked from head to toe and with a nasty case of 'paragliding-induced hypothermia.'
Lesson learned: never paraglide into water.
Our CEO, Jane, was on the verge of attempting a daring paraglide off a cliff when a pesky seagull photobombed the jump, causing her to pull out of the stunt at the last second. The resulting 'near-paraglide' left everyone on the team in a state of panic.
Lesson learned: always check the skies for seagulls.
