Aircraft lost power and missed trees and power lines before landing in a nearby field
Jimi Heselden.
The son of the late millionaire Segway boss Jimi Heselden said his dad was “watching over him” after he walked away from a plane crash.
Jason, 39, was in the Piper Warrior light aircraft with three others on a sightseeing tour when the engine cut out at 1,000ft.
As they plunged to the ground, pilot Gordon Elliott made a mayday call then managed to glide the aircraft over trees and power lines to land in a nearby field.
Jason said the plane lost power over the house in Boston Spa, West Yorks, that belonged to his father – who was killed in an accident on one of his machines in 2010.
He added: “I’m 100 percent sure Dad was watching over me. We couldn’t believe we were alive. We had the best pilot we could’ve had.”
