A dramatic video from the Newsflare archive of a paraglider hitting a power line in Amqui, Canada.

The footage, shot in 2015 using a camera attached to the canopy, captures the moment the paraglider hit the line and fell to the ground while flying over a field.

The paraglider later explained online that he did not see the wires above him, although he knew there were electric lines in the area.

Thankfully he escaped injury in the crash.
