Man crashes into tree while paragliding on Tiger Mtn on Jun 12,<br />
2011 at 2:57 pm. A man was injured and knocked unconscious<br />
Sunday afternoon when his paraglider crashed into a tree on Tiger<br />
<strong>Mountain</strong>, officials said. Medics and emergency personnel from Eastside<br />
Fire & <strong>Rescue</strong> were dispatched to the scene, about a quarter-mile down<br />
Poo Poo Point Trail, at about 1:35 pm. Meanwhile, others in the area<br />
rushed over to help the man out. When medics reached the site, they<br />
found the man had regained consciousness. They treated him at the<br />
scene, put him on a stretcher and hauled him out. King County<br />
Sheriff's Office spokesman John Urquhart said the extent of the man's<br />
injuries were not immediately known, but are not believed to be lifethreatening.<br />
The man was reported to be in his 50s. Witnesses said the<br />
man launched his paraglider from the summit and apparently had<br />
trouble soon after taking off according to news reports.<br />
