B.C. paraglider recalls his Canada Day spent stuck in a tree
Paraglider Jack Pincus, centre, from the Comox Valley and rescuers Dave Potter from Totem Tree Service, right, and a member of Alberni Valley Rescue Society are flown away from Mount Irwin by Ascent Helicopters after Pincus was rescued from the top of a 35-metre Douglas fir.
Dave Potter from Totem Tree Service gives paraglider Jack Pincus a thumbs-up while Pincus is rappelling down a tree on Canada Day. Potter and the small team of rescuers were airlifted to a logging road near the site at Mount Irwin for expediency. Pincus had already been hung up in a seated position for nearly two hours by the time rescuers arrived . He was appropriately dressed and he had water with him.
“I was able to set up a rope by him and hook up to one of the descending devices. He had some experience with rappelling too.”
