Shit happens...

First of all thanks for all the good vibes and energy you were sending to the universe wishing my recovery. I was close to die but got lucky, had good angels taking care of me. Went though a hard period but my healing process is going on better and faster then expected.
The short summary: open shinbone fracture, broken fibula (both on left leg), compressed 3 vertebras (stable), bruised many ribs, coccyx, collected a serious concussed my brain in collected a couple of internal injuries. Spent 1 month in 3 hospitals around Switzerland (3 helicopter rides during this time), of which I was sleeping in artificial coma for 2 weeks (to relax and stabilize my body), then another month in a rehabilitation clinic with a full program of intensive therapies: neuropsychology, physiotherapy, ergo and water-therapy, swimming, muscle training, etc...

Acro tandem coaching with the special double brake system - the safest and most effective way to learn maneuvers with a paraglider!
The instructor gives live, in-flight commands to the student and only touches the brakes to help him to get the right "feeling" or to stabilize the glider.
