Paraglider Mike Daniel got caught in a tree earlier today.? We spoke with the Issaquah resident?this evening, who?said he flies in Magnolia?quite a bit, but today was a bit trickier:
It looked like a rain squall was coming in, so?I tried to make an emergency landing.? As?I came in over the trees,?I caught a down draft and got caught in the tree.
Daniel?got out quickly, and stayed with the glider until a professional?tree service?arrived to carefully cut it down from the tree.? Daniel?says many people stopped by to check on him. He adds?”everyone in the neighborhood was really nice.”
Thanks to all of the readers for the tips, and Cortney for the photo!
