"A contestant on the upcoming season of ABC&amp;apos;s The Bachelorette is in a medically induced coma following a paragliding accident on Sunday, April 20. Eric Hill, a potential match for Bachelor alum Andi Dorfman, was seriously injured in Utah when his parachute collapsed, sending him careening into a hillside, United Fire Authority Battalion Chief Brian Anderton tells Us Weekly.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Due to the slope of the hill, we had a difficult time getting the patient down, so we called in a technical rescue team and some technical medical specialists,&amp;quot; Anderton says. Hill was then transported by helicopter to a local hospital in critical condition.\r\n\r\nABC has not announced the names of Dorfman&amp;apos;s suitors, but noted Bachelor/Bachelorette blogger Reality Steve says Hill is indeed one of the contestants. He notes, however, that the accident did not happen on the show; Hill had apparently already been eliminated at the time of his injury.\r\n\r\nA note on Hill&amp;apos;s official Facebook page, Go With Eric, The Global Odyssey -- where he has been documenting his quest to visit every country in the world in record time -- confirms that he is in a coma. &amp;quot;Things are not looking good right now,&amp;quot; the message reads. &amp;quot;Please, all across the world, even if you&amp;apos;re not a praying person, please pray for him. He needs your prayers more than ever.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
