'The shocking moment two paragliders collided in mid-air was caught on camera in Schoden, Germany.
The footage of one paraglider flying into the other was caught on the latter's GoPro.
One expert who witnessed this incident had the following to say: "There are unspoken rules in paragliding e.g. if a pilot finds the thermal first, that person has the right to decide the direction of rotation and a number of other things. In this case, the other paraglider didn't act as per expectations and hence, the accident took place."
Thankfully, the collision didn't lead to anything major and both pilots were able to land safely.
