As a hang glider test pilot, the pilot enjoyed a challenge. While demonstrating a product to a group, the aircraft malfunctioned and plummeted. Luckily, he had a parachute and was able to make it safely to the ground, except for a dislocated shoulder. For the next two years, the pilot claimed his arm was too severely injured to return to work. Physicians tried every available treatment with no success. In the meantime, the pilot decided to move to sunny, southern California. After a tip from a former employer, surveillance video showed him parasailing off cliffs at Torrey Pines Glider Port in La Jolla, Calif.

The WCF asked the pilot to return to Utah for an independent medical exam. At the exam, he told the physician he could not open his car door because of his shoulder pain. After seeing the surveillance, the doctor released the pilot to go back to work.

Subsequently, the pilot pleaded guilty to workers' compensation fraud. WCF saved almost $120,000 in medical and lost time benefits.
