Gap tallard airport is a very busy airport in the middle of the French Alps,surrounded by high mountains. Due to the fact that a Brittish glider pilot caught a free falling parachutist a few years ago ( followed by a manslaughter case) there is an exclusion zone of 5km around the airport.(The parachuting business is a 7 day a week operation.) The guy might have been lucky to be hit by a tow rope instead of a bunch of freefalling tourists.
