An airworthy powered hang glider made in South Korea and piloted by two certified occupants flew into mountainous terrain during an aerial photography flight due to powerful downdraft. Impact forces were cushioned by trees so the damage and injuries were not severe. The accident flight was not approved by supervising authorities and was therefore considered illegal.
