A skydiver is critically injured after hitting the ground hard at Skydive New England in Lebanon on Thursday afternoon.

The Lebanon Fire Department says it received a call at 2:21 pm that a skydiver “had fallen at a high rate of speed from heights of more than 50 feet.”

The department says they arrived on the scene and were assisted by Frisbee EMS paramedics in treating the man, who was packaged and taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire.

Lebanon firefighters say the patient was flown from there to a trauma center by a Boston Med-Flight helicopter.

The man has not been identified, and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the mishap.

Another man was injured by a hard fall at Skydive New England last September.
