Paragliding is one of the more dangerous extreme sports to partake in.
One man found out the hard way when attempting to soar over the water.
A quick change in wind direction can make a huge difference when it comes to gliding through the air.
It’s certainly a painful watch.
The video shows the paraglider slowly increase his height above the water as he soars at least 20 metres into the air.
The slow winds bring him above the water until a quick change causes the parachute to quickly drop beneath him.
This then causes the paraglider to quickly fall to the water.
The huge resounding splash certainly looks painful.
Imgur users were sympathetic to the gliders pain.
One wrote: “I’ve seen guys plough into each other 10 feet in the air going 15-20 miles per hour. It’s not pretty.”
Others were less enthusiastic in their sympathies.
Another commented: “I figured that was going to happen, still laughed.”
