Paraglider's descent rudely interrupted by power line

A paraglider's carefree descent to a snowy Canadian town was brutally cut short when he struck a power line.

Footage of the January incident was filmed by a camera attached to the jumper's canopy and shows the paraglider drifting over Amqui, in eastern Quebec, The Telegraph reports.

But it all comes crashing down, literally, when the man is coathangered by the power line and crashes to the earth.

The man reportedly said he did not see the wires above him, although he knew there were power lines in the area.

He escaped any injuries, besides possibly a bruised ego.
