It’s quite rare that an experienced hang glider needs a rescue

redlandsUser1445509002Sep 25 at 2:53 PM

It actually is free, it’s a tax payer funded service. If they then get transported to the hospital via ambulance then they pay the ambulance company for the ground transportation

A glider or a HANG glider? Huge difference.
