He falls with a paraglider on the runway and crashes into a tree: the victim is a 45-year-old from Verona – Pusteria Gardena Badia

BRUNICO. He died instantly in a tragic, horrific crash into a tree on the side of the Sylvester slope, in the Plan de Corones area. Rescuers were unable to resuscitate Roberto Simonazzi, 45 years old, native of Parma but living in Brenzone (Province of Verona), victim of a terrible and sudden accident yesterday, November 1, at around 2.30 p.m. He was the president of the famous Kiteclub of Malcesine.

He flew his small and highly efficient glider, the speed glider, a discipline that was born from paragliding and improved some of its characteristics, for example he used a particularly flexible glider that allows you to quickly cover large differences in height, descending the slopes of steep mountains .

Simonazzi lost the ideal flight path and did not recover it. Three friends who were with him raised the alarm. When they arrived, people from the Brunico Mountain Rescue Service and the financial police, emergency medical personnel tried everything to resuscitate him, but the attempts became desperate to the point of giving up.
