Huw Owen                   Simon Nicholls                  on the wire

I am told that the photo "on the wire" was one of a series showing the person up on the pole after having landed being dragged by the wind until the canopy hit the pole. The canopy then proceeded to climb the pole and went up over the wires and dragged the person up into the situation as can been seen. A  very unusual and freaky happening!
