Hang glider falls to death in Rancho Palos Verdes
**update. Here's the story.
* He actually was a parasailer....Story shortly.
Apparently over the weekend a hang glider fell to his death near the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes.
A homicide detective told me the preliminary information is that the man was standing on the beach at 6:25 p.m. Saturday when a sudden gust of wind lifted him 100 feet into the air. He lost his grip and fell.
We don't have anything more than that at this point.
