A Californian couple and their 2-year-old child were saved thanks to the deployment of a parachute which slowed the fall of their small plane in a wooded area.

The man and his wife, both 38, and their daughter escaped almost unscathed with minor injuries after Friday’s accident, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

The plane, a 2004 Cirrus SR22, would have taken off from Shelter Cove Airport towards Santa Rosa where the family resides, before the plane’s engine lost power, according to the New York tabloid.

It was then that the pilot used the plane’s parachute system to slow the downward trajectory of the aircraft, already at low altitude, which crashed into a tree in wooded and mountainous terrain.

“The pilot began to determine why the plane had lost engine power, but noticed that the plane’s altitude was too low,” a Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said. communicated.

This is the second small plane to crash in this area in several months, after a small plane fell into the ocean which did not cause any casualties, according to Shelter Cove authorities.
