Mark Lowther says the 31-year-old man was running to take off from Malans Peak about 7:15 a.m. Friday when he crashed. The paraglider was with three friends who helped carry him several hundred yards to an area where a medical helicopter was waiting. Lowther says the wind may have shifted to cause the paraglider to go down instead of out as he was preparing for takeoff.
