Paragliders flying along the cliff top of Thorncombe Beacon in Dorset, where a Paraglider had to be rescued by HM Coastguard after crashing yesterday. <br />
<br />
This is the dramatic moment a paraglider was rescued after crash-landing into a 500ft cliff.  The man, aged in his late 20s, found himself stuck on a very narrow ledge about 280ft up the cliff at Thorncombe Beacon, near West Bay, Dorset.  Luckily a member of the public witnessed him crash and called the emergency services at 5.50pm on Sunday.   Incredibly the paraglider suffered only minor cuts and bruises.
