A 40-year-old man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a paragliding accident in Squamish on Thursday.
Squamish RCMP says first responders were called around 7:45 a.m. to reports the man had fallen into the log boom area of the blind channel portion of Howe Sound.
Firefighters and RCMP were able to retrieve the man using a police boat and transport him to paramedics, who airlifted him to hospital.
Police say it appears the man was paragliding off the Stawamus Chief, but went into a spin and fell into the log boom area, just to the west of his launch point.
