A senior local official Sinai Na Sharma said investigations suggested that a “human error” led to the accident. The pilot has been arrested following the incident.

 

Rajeev , the officer in charge, stated that pilot Rahul Singh hails from Allot village, located in thesis of district, and the paraglider is owned by one Begin.

Police have registered a case against both of them.

 

The local police said that the tourist’s paragliding harness gave way mid-air, minutes after she took off in a tandem flight.

 

Despite the pilot being registered and the equipment being approved, the tragedy was attributed to human error.

 

India Today reported that she fell on the roof of a house and died instantly.

 

A postmortem was conducted at the Regional Hospital in Kelly, and the body was returned to her family.

 

A magistrate inquiry is underway, and an FIR has been filed.

 

Paragliding activities in Do Him village in Kelly in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, where the accident occurred, have been temporarily suspended by the authorities.

 

Paragliding demands rigorous safety measures, including proper training for pilots, thorough equipment checks, and strict safety harness procedures. Observers note that the accident also raises questions about the regulation of adventure sports, particularly in tourist-heavy areas like Himachal Pradesh.

 

On 24 December 2022, a tourist from Maharashtra, Suraj Shah, lost his life when his harness failed just after takeoff during a tandem flight near Do His village in Kill U.

 

Another tragedy struck on 15 June 2022 when Aditya Sharma, 20, from Ambala in Punjab and his pilot, local Krishan Gopal, died in a paragliding accident close to the launch area in Do Hi.

 

Himachal Pradesh offers several paragliding sites: Bir Billing, Slang Valley, Bangla Dhar, Jung’s near Shimla and Gabbar Valley among others.
