Following a demonstration of a rapid rate dropping an unfortunate accident happened during the first day of the Airpower 2011 show - two paratroopers collided. The landing was hard / impact speed was very high. The show programme was suspended for a long while. Both soldiers suffered fractures and were taken to hospitals by helicopters. Hope and wish they recover well and soon.

Both paratroopers are not in critical conditions and are being treated in hospitals in the
surrounding area. They both suffered fractures from the incident. Immediately after the
two Carinthian paratroopers' accident, the Austrian Armed Forces started air accident
investigations. Apparently, the parachutes of the two soldiers became entangled during the
flight.
