Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Look... Up in the sky... It's a bird... It's a plane... It's a parachuter!
A parachutist had to be rescued from a tree in a busy town centre after becoming trapped in high branches.
The man is believed to have blown two miles off course
whilst skydiving with Peterlee Parachute Centre, landing in the tree in St
Cuthbert Road, Peterlee, County Durham.
The drop zone controller at Peterlee Parachute Centre
said: "He was a first time parachuter.
He was jumping by himself and he was jumping from three and a half thousand feet."
He was jumping by himself and he was jumping from three and a half thousand feet."
"He made a reasonably good exit and everything went
fine when he left the aircraft.
"He didn't take control of the canopy as he was
trained to do and ended up flying off the airfield and landed in a tree."
