Critically injured after crashing into the mountains while paragliding on Monday, 25 January, 2010, a man was airlifted to Pietermaritzberg’s Medi Clinic, where he remains in a serious condition.

Internet based reports have spread rapidly, but exact details remain scarce. It appears the man was part of a group in the Giants Castle area, and something caused him to crash into a mountainside. He sustained head, chest and pelvic trauma and was airlifted from the crash site which was not accessible by road.
