@@Wolf-xu1fjIt appeared to me that the pilot was unable to correct a LH wing drop on take off and the wing dragged the ground. The wing then brushed against shrubs and the glider turned into the hill. Unfortunately there were lots of very large rocks in that area and he impacted quite hard. I expect there will be a full account on one of the SAFA safety pages.
I was hoping this was a video on flying HG in Manila ……. Philippines. Is there any or much hang gliding anywhere in the Philippines ?
Have a look at the Hangglider pilots Facebook page as there may be something there. We also have a Texas in Australia as well.
You can’t just leave us hanging, give us more info.
Pilot is recovering from a broken nose, collapsed lung, broken ribs and spine damage. We’re hoping for a full recovery.
@@dtdan65 what happened ???

@@dtdan65 ok, on a side note, I always thought a glider should have two independent straps to hook the person
That was my older cousin. Thankyou for looking after him! Our family loves him more than life!
