A VICTORIAN paraglider spent four hours trapped in a tree before an inflatable jumping castle was used during her rescue.
The 27-year-old woman became tangled in a tree about 16 metres off the ground in Bright, northeast of Melbourne, about 6pm (AEDT) on Sunday.
A search and rescue crew placed matting and then a jumping castle beneath the tree, a police spokeswoman said.
A crane then slowly lowered her to safety at 10pm.
The woman, from Caulfield South, was uninjured during the four-hour ordeal.
