A young paraglider pilot from Bihar was killed in a gliding accident in West Bengal’s Kalimpong district on Sunday after the wing of the glider brushed a tree and plummeted 40 feet onto a concrete floor.

Gaurav Chaudhury, the passenger flying with the pilot, fractured his leg and was admitted to a nursing home in Siliguri

This was the first reported paragliding death in Kalimpong. This year, two other tourists were killed in a rafting accident in the same area.

"Purushottam, 22, a paragliding pilot from Nepal died in the accident while the tourist with him was injured in Delo hills on Sunday," a Kalimpong police officer told IANS.

As reported by The Telegraph, Chaudhary was visiting Kalimpong with 12 friends.

Now, a video has surfaced on social media that shows the pilot’s final moments before dying in the crash

In the video, the pilot can be seen trying to control the glider after strong winds changed its direction and also took if far away from the landing site.

The glider then brushes against a tree and eventually crashes into a concrete floor.

According to reports, the paragliders took off from the popular hilltop tourist spot of Deolo and wanted to land at Ronaldshay Park.
