Thanks. Seems credible. They might want to talk to whoever is writing the headlines, I don't think a paraglider ran into an airplane. Maybe it's just the translation.Paraglider Crashes Into Small Plane – Survives!

As easy as it is to just blame the pilot, the "see and avoid" strategy is, at best, flawed.
The paraglider can easily blend in with the background (even with its coloring)
The snow capped mountains can make a variety of colors and patterns, especially just below the horizon, which the paraglider was.
Strictly by the law, the paraglider DOES have right of way.
I'm to the point that ALL flying objects should have ADS-B out.

Should all vehicles talk to each other? I'm not saying it's a bad idea I'm just wondering how it'd be implemented.
