Published May 13th, 2025 - 07:15 GMT
ALBAWABA - The death of young Lebanese man Hussein M.R. while paragliding in the Jounieh area of Mount Lebanon is still being investigated, local media reported.
Lebanese authorities are still tracking down the paraglider captain who led the scene after the incident, in an attempt to arrest him.
The Lebanese judiciary has issued a ban on paragliding in Jounieh, sealing off the runway with red wax.
The young man, born in 2008, is originally from the Al-Minya area and has an Australian citizen. He died last Saturday afternoon after falling from a parachute.
A video was posted on social media reportedly showing the moment when Hussein M.R. fell from the parachute to his death in the Jounieh area.
The victim's uncle confirmed to Alarabiya that his relative "was not properly strapped in while paragliding, and that the flight attendants did not take his excess weight into account, which demonstrates lax enforcement of public safety regulations."
