Teen Hurt after Being Hit by a Paraglider While Eating at a Restaurant in Turkey

In the News

The injuries this poor girl suffered you would expect to see from a car accident

But the horrific injuries she suffered were from being hit by a paraglider, while eating at a restaurant in Turkey

She suffered a broken back , a bleed on the brain, and broken ribs.

Thankfully she is back home now, but the treatments cost £58,000 in total

She didn't have insurance but some money was donated

I would have thought the paragliding school would be responsible unless it was privately owned , but there is no mention of this in the article

Out of the blue that was! He certainly wasn't expecting that. I had a friend who lost his leg to a car careering off the road and another friend who's mother was killed the same way.John Lennon once said "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" Just as well we don't know what's coming some times!

I'm guessing the size of her probably saved her life, she looks older than a teenager, I will keep my eye on the sky next time I'm in turkey lol

Well you would hope that the people who were on the glider, or the company that rented it out, would be held responsible.
