The video shows the moment Swiss rescue services save a paraglider who had landed on a high-voltage transmission line in Switzerland over the weekend.

Air Zermatt AG crew members rescued the paraglider who managed to find himself in the dangerous situation after he got stuck in a power line in Switzerland.

Air Zermatt is the first rescue company in Switzerland that employs permanent doctors and anaesthesia nurses who accompany the helicopter crews on their rescue missions, and it was founded in 1968.

The rescue company that is also an airline and flight school based in the municipality of Zermatt in Switzerland currently employs approximately 65 people.

The challenging rescue mission over the weekend involved two crew members hanging from a helicopter on a wire that managed to untangle the man stuck in the power line in a very short period of time.

After the rescue team caught the man hanging from the high-voltage line they also managed to detach him from his parachute.

In addition, the power line was switched off to avoid additional risks during the rescue, whilst the team used a 150-metre-long wire (459 ft) so that the paraglider did not get affected by the downdraught from the machine.

The involved Air Zermatt crew members managed to pull off the difficult rescue operation without any further mishaps.

The paraglider did not provide any explanation about how he landed on the power line.

Additionally the video was also shared on Air Zermatt’s Facebook page and it received positive criticism from the company’s followers.

One of them named Diego Gongora commented: “Impressive professionalism! Congratulations Air Zermatt!”

Another follower Antero Manuel Sa Fernandes said: “Great action. Bravo!”

The social media team of Air Zermatt thanked the crew members for the good cooperation and their followers for the support.
