Description:
On Monday afternoon in Obersaxen area a Speed flyer was killed. He first started as a group of four pilots from Piz Mundaun. Shortly after starting his glider remained hanging from a ledge after the 26-year-old crashed into a rock wall which followed what is thought, a collision with the ropeways just after launch. He then fell about 200 feet down a steep and icy slope. Despite immediate resuscitation attempts by a third person and the mountain rescue service, the pilot couldn't be saved.
