Paraglider Falls From The Sky, Crashes Into Soccer Player

Before a game, LDU Quito player Claudio Bieler was warming up, minding his own business. Then a paraglider crashed into him.

You probably don't walk around the world feeling like you have to beware of a paraglider suddenly crashing into you. Maybe you should.

Before a game between top-flight Ecuadorean squads LDU Quito and Barcelona Sporting Club, LDU's Claudio Quito took a paraglider to the face.

Here's a GIF of the collision which, I have to imagine, must have hurt for both parties involved.

It seems like the crowd watching warmups got a kick out of it, because the paraglider then motions for them to cheer and high-fives a nearby dude carrying a sign.
