Midair Collision in Aspen Mountains | Denver News

Two thrill-seekers in Aspen— one paragliding, the other hang gliding— collided midair Sunday morning, leading to a dramatic rescue operation. One suffered minor scrapes and walked out, while the other required a full mountain extraction via stretcher and rope system, now hospitalized with unknown injuries. A 30-person Mountain Rescue Aspen crew worked through until after 1 PM to safely recover both. Authorities are urging all aerial adventurers to maintain safe distances and ensure reliable communication and safety gear—because even in the sky, safety comes first.
