Life Boats are an essential element of paragliding.
Here, the Royal Navy Life Boat RNLB Daniel L Gibson proceeds at "best speed" to rescue a soaring parachutist.
A "Y-boat" was sent to the beach to collect the unfortunate and helpless falling human.
He was rushed back to the Life Boat base where he was placed in an ambulance and sent away.
