This is the heart-stopping moment an amateur paraglider fails to take off and smashes into some trees.

The footage shows Rich taking off but not getting enough lift and ploughing into trees in a forest nearby.

Luckily, Rich was unharmed.

The filmer writes: ''Rich was fine and flew again later.''

The clip was filmed on May 1 in northern Italy.
