ST. GEORGE Their New Year s Day flight started like one of their numerous past trips great weather, an unparalleled view of southern Utah s red rock scenery when an unexpected gust of wind hit.
The wind pushed locals Jeff Hunt and Brad Roper up a ridge, causing the wings of their paramotors to collapse. Roper was high enough that his wings reinflated in time, but Hunt got too low, Roper recalled. The wing didn t have time to reinflate, and he went to ground, Roper said. I was terrified. I tried to turn around to go back and see if he was OK. I saw his parachute on the ground, and I was just sick. I tried to fly closer thinking maybe I could land or could get a better view to see if he was alive, he said.
