A glider was left nosediving into the ground in Poland after the pilot accidentally clipped a tree.
Video footage shows the heart-stopping moment the aircraft crashes into the grass at a speed of 84mph after the pilot's aerobatic maneuvers take a turn for the worst in Żernica Wyżna, Poland.
The pilot had been flying at about 984 feet when he descended to a lower altitude and made a 180 degree turn to the runway.
Following the crash, the pilot and the passenger onboard suffered serious injuries.
