A 23 year old female sustained some injuries this afternoon during a skydiving incident in Bloemfontein.
ER24 paramedics received a call out to an airfield in Bansvlei. The female skydiver was allegedly overcome by a gust of wind upon landing on the ground and lost control of her parachute. The female then landed on the ground face first.
Paramedics treated the female at the scene for multiple scrapes and cuts. She also sustained a suspected back and neck injury. She was later immobilised to a special board before being transported to Mediclinic Bloemfontein for further medical care.
