not cool

edit: unexpected unconsciousness is not a medical event?
Whether "medical event" was prior to or resulted from risk-taking adventure,
and hence culpability, will await forensics I imagine. If those are possible.
That determination aside however,
risk-taking that puts others at risk (e.g., flying over other people) is morally and in many jurisdictions legally prohibited for obvious reasons.
I suspect that the story here is that until things went wrong nobody expected that this was a risk-taking activity in the first place (any more so than paragliding in general is). Do we have reason to believe he was doing it unsafely before disaster struck and he lost control?
> then lost control of his paraglider, crashing into a hotel pool and lightly injuring a young female employee.
Still not great, but it seems like a rush of water knocking over someone, not quite striking which sounds like it would be life threatening.
