Holy Cow! Tandem Instructor UnHooked in Brazil

Post by CraginS »

From a thread on OZreport Forum

Seems a Brazilian tandem dude launched unhooked, and departed the glider at altitude, leaving his American tourist to get down on his own! Pilot had the chute on his harness, so he came down under silk. Reports say no serious injuries, so the tourist made it too, apparently.
