However one of the pilots, Adilson Kindelmann, was going through practise runs before he crashed into Swan River in Perth where the competitions Australian Leg was going to be held.
The Brazilian daredevil was fortunate not to be seriously hurt and escaped the crash with minor injuries.
In Case You Missed It
An eye witness who spoke to NationalTurk said “It was shocking, I could not believe my eyes, one moment his flying through the air and the next we see a great big splash.
Rescuers standing by the river rushed to aid the pilot who is said to be new in the competition. Officials are saying he is very fortunate to be alive as if he had gotten stuck, he would have most likely drowned as water pored into the area where the pilot was sitting.
