A paraglider in Austria somehow survived a plane taking out her canopy mid-air … with video capturing the scary scene.
The woman — whose social media only identifies her as Sabrina — shared the scary clip from May 23 … which begins when a plane buzzes by and shreds her sail to pieces.
Sabrina, hurtling toward the earth in the Schmittenhöhe mountain region in northern Austria, thinks quickly … removing the emergency parachute in her bag and throwing it into the air to slow her descent.
What follows is a long, precipitous fall toward the ground … punctuated by Sabrina’s occasional screams — before she slams to the dirt, relatively unharmed.
According to the local Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung, a police helicopter picked Sabrina up and transported her to a local airport.
In her caption, Sabrina writes May 23 will always be like a second birthday for her … and she knows how lucky she is to be alive.
She says she suffered a few bumps and bruises … but she’s doing alright overall. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation.
