In August 2019, the friends of a future groom surprised him with a baptism in a microlight to bury his life as a boy. But the theft turned into a drama. The machine piloted by the manager-instructor of a North Moselle paragliding club was visibly flying too low and suddenly became entangled in a high voltage line six meters above the ground.
The passenger, victim of an electric arc, lost consciousness. Her body was third degree burnt, and was given sixty days of ITT. Two years after his accident, the victim still cannot resume his professional activity in Luxembourg, suffering from neurological disorders.
The pilot, who was summoned to the Thionville Criminal Court on July 6, 2021 to respond in particular to unintentional injuries by violation of an obligation of safety or caution, learned of his judgment on Tuesday: he was released.
