DRAPER — A 32-year-old man is in critical condition after he fell 15 to 20 feet at a hang gliding park Sunday.

The man was paragliding with a friend, who said the man swung like a pendulum into the side of the mountain when his parachute collapsed, according to Unified Fire Authority.

When crews arrived the man was not concious and was flown to the University of Utah hospital.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.
