Low Save Over Baxio Guandu
Tough enough flying 2 meter thermals, but my vario wasn't working this day. Here is my low save above the grocery store in Baxio Guandu.

Despite light thermals with 2.0 lift, we flew 60 km that day.

Landing in Farmer's Field on Way to Quality Inn
These wings aspect ratio are just too high for the wrong wind currents. But any lower and they don’t thermal. Tough sport.
This happened to me at the same spot but with 1000m more height. The wing completely collapsed out of nowhere and reopened seconds later and I landed safely one hour later.
Laughing while almost dying is crazy 😂
No brakes when the glider shot. Flying nose down and frontal collapse destroys a lot of height. Hope the pilot is ok.
This looks like an incredibly powerful rotor that sucks his wing into one direction. The area directly above of the Unterberghorn is also known to have strong turbulence, but I've never seen or experienced some that strong.
Was ist das für ein Schirm? Schießt schon gewaltig... Oben steht was von Rotor? Ich kenne mich nicht in Kössen aus, kann das sein???
Rip adam
Ist er gestorben??
@@elmencho8348nein
Auf dem DHV steht nichts davon wird also zumindest nicht gestorben sein.
Stall?? it was a massive front collapse on left side. He looks straight as an arrow in the harness, likely squeezing every last bit of speed on a full bar. This is not a good place for this. There's a near vertical wall to the left, steep slope to the right, meeting on the razor edge ridge right below him. Definitely a place to sit up a bit and control your glider.
The pilots position was the first thing that took my attention... you think he used speedbar too? He absolutely was bit late on break during second shooting!
Meine Güte sieht das hart aus. Ist vermutlich der Glaube, dass nach einem Frontal meist alles wieder in Ordnung ist. Hoffentlich ist nichts bis wenig passiert.. Schwer mit anzusehen.
He's fucked
Did the pilot stall because of braking to hard? To me it doesn’t look like an effect from turbulence.
A professional pilot I know said it looked like he entered a strong thermal, and didn't collect the surge. I flew the same area, and it was very turbulent closer to the ground where the wind comes up the mountain. My guess was he was in rotor, and wasn't actively flying, collecting (stopping) the surge of the wing. Hard to say it happens so fast.
Its not a stall. I would say more than 70% of an asimetrick colapse that surprised the pilot and he didn’t catch the shoot. He could have saved it with a strong symetrick check on the brakes to stop the shoot then hands up to let it fly again.
What happened there?
Looks like he thumped pretty hard with a nasty pendulum swing. The slope might have reduced some of the impact?
Uhh, any info about injury?
You better ask what were NOT injured.
Wow! great save Gordon, I saw you eyeing that brown field and getting your foot out for a possible landing. Well done! That was low1
Was a real pleasure flying with you G. See you again at Cloudbase soon!!!
