A man flying a motorized powerglider in Grand Forks, North Dakota was in for a shock during his ride after flying straight into some power lines.


Video captured of the event shows our flyer making his way over the river, then flying straight into the power lines — an event accompanied by a loud “zap!”


Fortunately, the man is okay, and officials were able to rescue him from the river after untangling him from the power lines.


So, if you live in Grand Forks and your power went out the other day, blame this dude and his paraglider!
