Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whawhai ana tētahi paerata mō tōna oranga i muri i te tukinga o tētahi waka rererangi ultralight motokā ki te waha o tētahi awa nui. Ko te paerata tane, 57, i rere ki te Royal Brisbane Hospital me te kino o te upoko, te pouaka me te whara o te kopu i muri i tana ngaro i te mana o te waka rererangi ka hinga ki te awa o Noosa, ki te tonga rawhiti o Queensland, tata ki te 7am i te Ratapu. I kii nga kaiwhakaatu i hurihuri te hang-glider ka huri ke i te wa i ngana ai te tangata ki te whakatika i te waka rererangi engari ka ruku tika ki te wai, e kii ana te Sunshine Coast Daily. I kawea e ngā kaiāwhina he paerata 57-tau ki te hōhipera i muri i tana hinganga ki te wai i te 7 i te ahiahi o te Rātapu. Kei te noho te tangata i roto i tētahi āhuatanga whakahirahira i muri i te whiu kino o te upoko, te uma me te whara o te kopu. Ko te kaiwhakaatu ko Simon Duffin, e kai ana i te parakuihi i te wa i heke mai ai te waka rererangi, i kii ia i kite ia i te paerata e ngaro ana i te mana o te waka rererangi i a ia e rere ana. 'Kua rite ia ki waho engari ka mohio ahau he hurihuri ia. I ngana ia ki te ruku kia hoki ai ia ki runga, ā, kua rere tika atu ia ki te wai. E 50 mita te teitei o te wai i te rangi.' I hohoro nga kaitiaki ora ki te whakaora i te tangata i te huarahi kino, ka toia ia ki roto i te kaipuke i mua i te kawe ia ki te takutai. I whakahaeretia e ngā kaiāwhina hauora te CPR ki te tangata, kātahi ka kawea atu ia ki te Royal Brisbane Hospital mā tētahi Helicopter Whakaoranga Careflight. I kii te kaiwhakaatu a Simon Duffin 'i ngana te paerata ki te ruku kia hoki mai ai ia ki te poutū ka haere tonu ia ki te wai' I tere te whakaora a nga Kaitiaki Ora i te tangata mai i te kino, i kukume ia ki roto i te kaipuke i mua i tana kawe ki te takutai. Ko te kaiwhakaatu a Alex Harris i hopu i tēnei whakaahua o te Helikopta Whakaora Careflight i kawea ai te paerata ki te hōhipera. I puta te aitua ki te waha o te awa o Noosa, ki te tonga-rawhiti o Kuinihana, i te 7am i te Ratapu. Kua whakaorangia e ngā kaitiaki takutai o Noosa te nuinga o ngā toenga o te waka rererangi trike ultralight, i hīkoi i te taha o ngā kupenga hīkoi o Noosa Bar. Kei te mahi tahi te Rōpū Whakangungu o Ahitereiria me te Rōpū Whakangungu o Sunshine Coast ki te whakamātau ki te whakatau he aha te hē o te tukinga. Ko te tangata 57-tau te pakeke...
Ko te paerata tane, 57, i whara kino ki te mahunga, ki te uma me te kopu. Ka huri te hīkoi ki raro, ā, ka heke tōtika ki te wai. I whakahaeretia e ngā kaiāwhina parekura te CPR kātahi ka rere atu te tangata ki te Royal Brisbane Hospital. Kei te whakamātau te Rōpū Whakamātautau i te Tai Tokerau ki te whakatau he aha te mea i hē.
