Tragic news. A para-glider died after a crash. What makes this more tragic, and it is not included in this story, is that this guy's wife died almost exactly 1 year ago, also in a para-glider accident.

Life on the edge is not where I would ever choose to be. If God meant for me to have wings, he would have made them stock equipment, not an aftermarket add-on. Too bad for this fellow. It's a huge hobby, but not without its hazards.
