The 64-year-old hang gliding flight pioneer Horst Zimmer dies while flying on November 5th. According to initial investigations Horst forgot to hook in. He fell from the ramp at Neumagen / Dhron.

Horst operated along with his brother Harald the renowned manufacturer Bautek. The hang gliding community loses Horst Zimmer an extraordinarily dedicated person. As a manufacturer, flight instructor and the club and association Horst has been working tirelessly for his sport.

This is my best guess at the translation. Thanks to Dave Kinlan.
