Boy, 6, hit by paramotor as he plays on the beach in Thai national park

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News were contacted by a man called Chaiwat who said he filmed the moment a paramotor pilot, one of three circling overhead, came out of the sky and landed on the beach. 

 

Right on the head of a six year old boy.

 

The little kid was playing on the sands at Klong Muang beach in the Nopparat Thara - Koh Phi Phi National Park in Krabi, southern Thailand. 

 

As the boy cried his eyes out the pilot apologized to his parents who took him to Krabi Hospital. The pilot promised to pay for everything.

 

Online comment was rife after the clip was posted on Thai social media with people wondering if paramotors should be allowed in a national park. 

 

Park chief Woraphot Lomlim said the paramotors were not allowed to be there and he has initiated a hunt for those responsible to bring them to justice.

Let the hunt commence.  ????

I thought that the national park there was closed to the public!

Wind failure?

Maybe the "pilot" was as "high as a kite" !!

 

Landing without permission, that's illegal on top.

Uh, since when is Khlong Muang part of the nationa park? No, it's not.

Yeah, that really makes a difference to a child having a paramotor land on him.
