What do you mean? Couldn't see a thing! Not the glider-trouble, not the resque, and not the ground. What excatly was the beauty you saw?

Bem turbulento. É mais provável que estivesse mesmo numa área rotorizada. Outra possibilidade é vento não liso com deslocamento rápido de bolhas de um ciclo... Tomou inicialmente uma fechada pequena, mas ficou o cravete. Depois, tentando liberar o cravete deu vários puxões no lado esquerdo, a ultima bombada foi forte demais o que provocou o stall e colapso da vela. Deu sorte, ainda bem! Talvez um tenha faltado mais experiencia para analizar o rotor na decolagem e também para puxar a linha certa do cravete com mais calma, mas não acho que se deva culpar o piloto. Mesmo pilotos experientes as vezes entram em situação de risco e sofrem acidentes. Infelizmente, Paragliding é extremamente perigoso e muitos pilotos sofrem graves acidentes. Essa é a verdade.

Glider de ponta, muito acima da capacidade do piloto. Reagiu mal e acabou se afundando ainda mais no colapso. Vai cagar fino por muito tempo.

Adam Edgar hope you to enjoy all your flights with the glider. If possible make a SIV ;) Icepeak was my favorite glider and made the best flights with it.

thanks kiias...just a couple of questions...how many hours was put on this glider before Charlie bought it? also, were you flying on bar just before that collapse?

Adam Edgar No more than 30 hours. I wasn’t flying on bar, the air was extremely turbulent, something that you can not recognize at the video. www.paraglidingforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=558673#558673

Do you think the glider would have still collapsed if you had been pulling hard on the rear risers instead of the brakes? A comp pilot who flies at our local site says that i should ensure that i mostly fly using the rear risers on this glider.

Michele Ren 1 hour before me my girlfriend flown with Tequila also...although see was new pilot see landed ok. If you haven’t flown a hot 2liner you couldn’t really judge;)

​@@kiliascupra I absolutely do not want to judge. It is only my opinion. The fact is that under these conditions the pilot over not having assessed the conditions well before taking off and then did not know how to control or prevent the collapse of the wing.

@@micheleren1534 oh shut up… he was clearing a cravat and went through more turbulence… i don’t know the guy but I’d say neither do you so why comment especially if you fly a b wing…. He’s response was awesome throwing the reserve

@@AMJB100000000 Comments are open to everyone here. You shut up. And I repeat, this wing is too advanced for this pilot if he is unable to handle it even in adverse conditions. That's all.

@@micheleren1534 this video is educational for pg pilots and people like yourself with FA experience want to advise higher air time pilots what to do.. it’s abit rich

Wow I read that, thanks for reference and impressive story!

And then it was the pilots fault after all... :-D Junge, die Kiste is einfach viel zu heiß für ihn... Sieht man doch allein daran wie komisch er dran rum zupft... Erinnert mich an meinen ersten Verhänger, da hab ich auch so gezupft ohne jeglichen Erfolg... :-D Der sollte niemals an nem Boom hängen, so einfach...

tadim... um dia ele aprende... graças a Deus nao foi pior..

NevilleStyke paragliders are easy to steer so if you're not in a crisis situation you can easily steer away from that area

Unfortunately midair collisions are not uncommon and can result in death due to tangles with the reserve and/or knocked unconscious. But generally you can get out of the way if someone is having problems near you

Due to foehn wind

i wonder if thr glider is out of trim. conditions didnt look that strong

But answers are wrong. It’s impossible to know for sure but that kind of sudden violent collapse without some violent movement of the glider before usually are provoked by the pilot pulling the brakes or another line while using the speed system of the glider. It makes it loose stability. It was very windy and he was probably flying against the wind that’s what it looks like. So if I’m right this incident was totally predictable

paragliding is fun - even more so when you attend training & learn/practice (lots of groundhandling too) - don't be afraid of the weather, respect it. Use your senses and visualize all the things that are happening all around you (the birds, fluttering leaves in the trees etc.) to help you read the landscape. In this vid, there were many indicators of potential for rotors in the path he was following. Don't be in a hurry to get a performance wing - ENB A's & low-end B's are great and will give you the flying experience you're looking for. I don't know the pilot but active flying, keeping the wing loaded without so much brake, reading the terrain better could have avoided the situation - but at the end of the day, he's safe and sound... hope you learned from this(?) happy flying my friend

It's really fun, until it isn't. Then your training or lack of it comes into play and allows you to later watch the playback and learn more, or it doesn't and you don't !

Foehn

Does foehn generate severe turbulence at some height above the valley? I am interesting because I was in Gemona, 50 km to the west in this moment and there were absolutely normal flying conditions.

CharonUA At the same day all pilots was flying normal to Gemona!

Thanassis Freezman The longer the foehn travels, the warmer the air may get. Usually the weather goes from west to east - so 50km east there could have been more violent updrafts from it...

Why fly with a comp glider if there is no one to comp with. I suspect a c or b glider would have been more enjoyable to fly with without feeling your missing out on the plus 0.5 glide ratio on full bar since there is no one compare with
