The Accident and Incident Investigation Division of the SA Civil Aviation Authority issued a 30-page report detailing the horrific paragliding accident that killed Scottish rugby coach Greig Oliver, has shown that the 22-year-old pilot navigating the tandem glider showed a ‘total disregard’ for his passenger’s safety.The 58-year-old Oliver was on holiday in Cape Town supporting his son, Jack , who featured in the Ireland under-20 squad.
Chaos ensued after the three paragliders set off from Signal Hill in light 5km/h winds, with Oliver said to be ‘nervous and tense’ in the build-up of their takeoff. The report states that the pilot had not been watching where he was going and consequently collided with another flier, with their canopy collapsing and tragically plummeting 250 meters down towards the Atlantic Ocean with Oliver screaming ‘Jesus.’
