    Hi! I'm the girl from the video.
    Thank you for writing your comments. It was interesting to read each one, because it gives an opportunity to see the situation from all sides and opinions.
    The video is open for viewing and training sessions with the consent of the co-pilot. I hope everyone who has watched the video will take something valuable out of this situation for themselves. This is an important experience for us, we will be glad if it helps someone else.

      Hi! Thanks for participating and very glad you both are ok! I thought you both did great during a stressful time.
      I was wondering why you had trouble bringing in your glider after depolyment?
      And which lines were you pulling on to bring it in? Was that a brake line, or a forward line?
      Very interested in hearing more about it! Thanks!

    For any paragliding student out there: this is why we should always turn the same circles in bubbles. At 1:55 there was already a near miss which should have prompted you to leave the bubble. The other guy was taking way too much risk staying in this bubble IMHO. If this was the only bubble for miles around I would at least have kept my eye on him after that near miss. There are always pilots who are comfortable taking more risk or who are not very situationally aware let's say. This guy gave me the creeps right when you began turning against each other when you entered the bubble. At 2:25 he passed again and you did not anticipate his "I'm on my own here" attitude. So glad to see you kept your calm untangling your reserve. Well done. I'm not sure I would have done better frankly.

    Hi all. Very educative video! First of all happy to read that nothing serious happened!
    When I watched the video first time - obviously knowing that something will go wrong and obviously from the pilots perspective - I first thougth " ough ... flying towards a big cloud of pilots is never nice, probably a comp?", but a bit later I thought: "I would keep an eye on this Ozone pilot, no matter if he will climb towards his height, it feels as if he is not aware, that the entered the thermal later and in a dangerous alternative circle ..." and then again "oooh ... that would have been close if this glider whould have got an extra lift" .
    On 2.40 you can see that he flies straight (with his back towards "us", even does a little left turn and then decides to turn right hard - right into "us")
    So: most important rule - still ! - always clear your turn before turning!!!!
    But also, I think that from "our" perspective, she could have anticipated that problem. I am pretty sure, that I would have kept an eye on that ozone coming in below me and later and doing unclear maneuvers.
    But I also agree, that correcting her own position (obviously that ozone did have a better climb) might have helped as well.
    Afterwards I really think she kept very calm most of the time. That was good! Not so good of course to catch the other pilot with the reserve ... :(
    Thanks for sharing!

      @sotir popov "We are all himans and all make mistakes" ...yes...its true but it's also the typical excuse to mask idiots and silly behaviours in the air.
      There are some errors that MUST be prevented because it's possible and is mandatory for safety.
      This is one of them.
      A proof of what I mean is for example the crazy situation in the air of most crowded flight spots.
      Hundreds and hundreds of idiots in the air with their pg and flying a thermal is really risky. The tons of accidents (where the statistics indicate always the same nationalities in the top of the rankings) indicate clearly how all humans make mistakes but some much more then others.... and there is a simple answer for that; lack of preparation and respect for others!!!

      I can sense your frustration Davide and that's understandable. What I think though, in critical situations like this, pointing fingers and using strong words will not fix the problem. Better approach is Education. Nobody wants to be involved and by purpose to fly into another guy. Instead of ignoring and pushing them aside, constructive criticism, healthy discussion and Education is what I think would help to prevent further incidents like this one. And Natalia did a great job, stepping up and sharing this video, which I believe is a perfect way to show to the rest of the community where the danger is and how and what we should do to prevent it in the future.

      There are tons of great pilots flying pg but, as since the first days of this way of flying, pg has a wide range of people flying it due to its apparently simplicity... and that means there are a lot that are not pilots in their mind and should not fly at all with others.

      @@sotirpopov3533 you are incorrect about mid-air collisions. I saw one guy intentionally fly into the rear end of another guy. The parachutes bumped and the guy who flew into the rear end swung up on the panel of effect and hit the other guy in the rump during the collision. Everything was square lined up nothing got tangled and the guy who ran into him did it on purpose because he was laughing maniacally while he was flying away. I just bought a used epsilon 9 and the lessons are coming up and I'm going to learn to fly. I miss my old friends that have died and I wish they could get brought back to life and get a wing to fly. It would be great sport when one person rear-ended together if it was me and my old friends there'd be no way we could have seen that video and everybody wouldn't be rear-ending each other. I have no fingers to point and no one to blame and I don't think nationality has anything to do with the accident. I would suggest everybody check that reserve pretty often.

      nothing about either of those deployments showed any issue with the pack job. @ 2:59The woman threw her reserve into the other glider's lines, the reserve handle hung up on the other pilot's glider suspension line, then she flails innefectually at the reserve lines, never tried to untangle the handle, failed for a full 30 seconds to pull the last stow of lines out of the deployment bag. The lines she flails at get tangled in the glider, the deployment bag stays tangled in the glider until landing. she never threw the reserve when she had the handle in her hand, except perhaps directly at the other dude and his glider, and succeeded in tangling her reserve handle, and deployment bag, in the other pilot's glider.
      Looks to me like the blue yellow glider is at fault, initiating the turn head on into the woman he's been flying with for 10 minutes. both of them should have seen it coming more than 90 degrees before impact, No excuse. lower glider right of way doesn't apply when you've been at nearly the same level for minutes, wandering around in partially overlapping circles.
      Then he disables his own main, and her reserve and they both land under his square only they both panicked.

    Easy to comment from the comfort of my couch but... lack of situational awareness on both pilots, sudden changes in flight path while in proximity of other gliders, dodgy reserve packing... It's fantastic nobody got hurt here. And yes, while the pilot above is in charge of ensuring the safety of pilots below, at the time of impact they the collide nearly head on so they're flying on the same level. This was totally preventable and it's great to have such great footage to allow everyone to learn from it. Many thanks for posting.

    Thank you for sharing this video. That is brave. I am very glad to read that you both are well. I am not a an experienced pilot yet so my feedback is probably not that valuable. Traffic awareness apart. They are key notes I would point to. 1) In PG the higher the safest as seen here. 2) re-packing the reserve by competent personal, at least every year or after events that will affect the opening is important, as seen in the video. 3) when throwing the reserve, you can see how the male pilot was quick in collecting the glider, while the female pilot was struggling opening the reserve, her glider want to fly, and it was fighting the parachute until ending pointing to the ground, accelerating the sink rate even more (one reserve opened with overweight). It is so impressed how calm both pilots were… VERY IMPRESSIVE. I will consider watching this video several time to expose myself to the stress and then picture what would I do in the same situation, with the hope of training my mind into automatically reacting under distress. Finally, damn my country is beautiful… what a landscape. I need to fly in home land for sure.

      skydiver here with a few thousand jumps. Having had many malfunctions, both high speed(freefall with bridal entanglement or fouled main pack on tandem rigs) and slow speed like line twists and even two canopies out, but never a collision. The simple fact is, when the time comes, time slows and you focus on tasks in my experience. Task lock can be a detriment, so it's still important to maintain big picture vision. But as my first instructor told me. When things go wrong, you breath and work the problem with the goal of getting as much wing or drag out as you can. Focusing on collapsing a second wing below 500 ft can make things way worse. Survivability is typically a function of quick reaction but also knowing when to stop pulling or cutting lines and just fly what you have if the risk of making it worse is high. Inducing a spin low to the ground is what most often results in the higher impact speed at angles perpendicular to the planet coming at you. This negates any attempt at PLF energy absorption. Every situation is unique, but you are right to place your mind in that situation, over and over and think about what your not thinking about. Know all your options and when to accept suboptimal and focus on the best impact position and reaction. Blue skies!

  • @Highrockman

    Ive looked at this many times ..The female pilot looks to be doing wide turns in a separate part of a thermal while a group of other pilots are performing tighter circles in another part of the thermal.. on several occasions it should have become obvious that their paths were intersecting. I get the pilot below has right away etc but I don't buy he didn't see the female pilot on the 2 times he came close to her when their paths intersected. 1st he should have adjusted his path once he realized they were coming close together 2nd the female pilot should have either entered the same circle or left to final lift away from the other thermaling pilots.. Both to me are to blame.. but its obvious to me the rising pilot should have recognized that she was a novice in skill by the way she was doing wide circles on the edge of the thermal and adjusted his path as well..

Other big fear, which happened once, is flying over big power lines, hitting a thermal and having the glider go parachutal.

      I was flying in Algodanales Southern Spain in December last year and the conditions were high pressure set in for a while so you could stay up on the mountain but try flying out and you would probably go down.
      One day I saw the number of pilots waiting to take off so was one of the first to launch when conditions were really marginal , I managed to stay up on the mountain for 40 minutes before the whole bloody crowd on the launch started to come off , I remember looking down and thinking this is going to get crazy busy very soon so I went and landed , not long afterwards there was a mid air collision and one German pilot sadly died.

  • @t.wadegonder1288
    @t.wadegonder1288 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Allow me to take a moment to clear up some misconceptions about some terms used by some pilots in the posts. Clearing a turn is a procedure that was invented over 100 years ago by pilots that were about to practice flight maneuvers (tight banked turns, stalls, acrobatics, etc.). They would fly straight and then turn slowly right or left 90 degrees to increase their view of the airspace by 90° and then turn again another 90°. Thus, completing a 360° view before beginning their maneuvers. They had to do this because they had a fuselage behind them. And the same held true for helicopters when they came along. Paragliders and hang glider pilots have the ability to see in almost a 270° circle when flying straight, by turning just their head (without a fuselage in the way). They only need to turn 90° to clear the 360° view before they begin any maneuvers. When you are in a thermal turning, there is no need to "clear a turn" as you have supposedly already done that before entering. Now, your job is to see and avoid and think about those other pilots that have limited visibility in comparison to you.
    Someday, a powered aircraft or sailplane may be near you when you're flying an ultralight, and now you know what his slow 90° turns mean. He is clearing to start maneuvers that you don't want to be anywhere near.

    Hallo Наталья, glad you both are OK. To avoid such situations ist`s better to line up behind the oher pilots and fly after them. The pilot with the ozone buzz is searching the best thermal point and flies unpredictably. At 2:21 you are flying your curve and you fly towards each other. The buzz pilot is about 10 meter under you. At 2:24 he narrows his turning radius. At 2:36 he ends his turn for a short while while you are flying a tight curve with weight heavily on the inside og the curve. At 2:41 the buzz pilot decides to turn to the right and i'm convicted he wasn't looking in the direction he was going to fly. You had no chance to evade him to avoid the collision.

      These reserve parachutes are designed to open quickly at low speeds. They generally cannot handle a free fall opening. Its similar yet drastically different equipment than skydiving gear. The reason is because if they were designed to open at freefall speeds, they wouldn't open at the slow speeds these gliders fly at.
      Have a look at the following video to see how fast they open. Perhaps this video makes clear why they are designed to open fast (hang gliders fly really slow!).

  • @stefaniebecker3804
    @stefaniebecker3804 2 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Couple of thing I noticed: 1) The camera perspective makes us view things from the woman's point of view, so we would be biased to judge things her way -- especially since the fisheye camera makes it hard to judge the relative positions and flight paths. 2) The collision was always going to happen this way, because in the overlapping parts of the circles, the woman was going headwind (slow) and the Buzz pilot was going downwind (fast). There is a good amount of guessing in this, as it's difficult to judge, but that was my impression. 3) Prior to the accident, the woman yells out to the Buzz pilot to keep away (apparently). This is a no-go. If you're uncomfortable with the separation, don't yell at other pilots: Choose a different flightpath. Different people have different comfort levels with different separations. If you are unhappy with the separation, don't yell at others to change their flying -- it's not their duty to make you feel comfortable in the air. You both have the same equipment (steerable gliders), so steer your glider away. In this accident, the pilots apparently didn't even speak the same language, which highlights the importance of this point even more. 4) Both pilots are in very flat turns, often going straight for a good bit. The woman seems to go pretty straight a couple of seconds prior to the collision and thus gets closer to the Buzz pilot, who turns quite abruptly. I'm guessing the Buzz pilot would not have seen the other glider even if he had done a 90 degree check (but again, this is a bit guesswork). Overall, both pilots don't look at each other often enough: Given their distance and the danger involved they should have been actively tracking the other pilot at all times. In this situation, I wouldn't have initiated a proper turn unless I had known 100% where the other glider was. 5) The Buzz pilot immediately throws the reserve. Maybe that's how it's taught at SIV but in real life, there is a possibility that the gliders disentangle and both pilots fly away. Given the height, it would have been an option to wait and see what the gliders do (but immediately throwing the reserve is not a mistake, as waiting comes with its own risks and can harm especially an entangled pilot). 6) The woman's reserve handle gets entangled and her attempts to disentangle it seem ineffective. It's possible that she couldn't see what the problem was. The camera captures it clearly (the reserve handle is entangled), but she was tilted away from the reserve and the harness may have occluded her view. Moreover, it's difficult to see such details when you're thrown around in the air. 7) The woman tries and fails to pull the glider in. She seems to be pulling only a few lines, as is recommended, but still can't disable the glider. It's important to remember that a glider can be stronger than us. You would usually try to disable the glider when the reserve pops out and takes the pressure away from the glider, but in this situation the opening is more gradual and there may not have been that critical timepoint. Knowing other methods of disabling gliders (wrapping the brakes multiple times or choosing a line on the side of the glider) may have helped. Finally: Thank you very much for posting this video, I love analysing these videos and learning from them. I am glad that both pilots are ok, and I hope they are both still flying happily! :-)

    que se tengan que cumplir normas de conducta en vuelo, es vital, como ir en coche o navegar en el mar, pero dejando de un lado las normas, es imprescindible usar el sentido común, el respeto y no obsesionarse en quien tiene la preferencia. En ocasiones nos cejamos queriendo subir una termica sin acordarnos que hay mas gente en ella o intentando ir por delante de otros pilotos para aguantar mas tiempo. malo malo. Me alegro que ambos pilotos salieran bien. felicidades

    Turning right, but focused almost exclusively to the right, rarely scanning left or forward. In a crowded thermal, danger can come from ANY direction and any altitude, not just in the direction you are turning.

    I´m not a pilot but I´m interested in starting paragliding. Can someone explain to me what happened? I mean yes, they crashed, but whose mistake was it, was she in his way or he in her´s? And how do you avoid such accidents. A collission with someone else is what I fear most, especially since the popular spots are usually very crowded. So what are the flying rules to avoid collissions and how precisely can you fly those things?

      Never, ever turn into someone's potential flight vector. If I was flying in the POV pilots place, I would have turned wider and joinedthe green-blue wing on its track, following them from behind. You can see the him being in lift, you can assume he will do a circle. Both of them could have turned on a way tighter turn and they would have avoided collision. It seems neither pilot have been mindful of their sorroundings, they both could have tightened the turn and even last minute, the green-blue wing could have pulled a tight left to avoid collision - even a negative spin is better than collision. Having a shitty, baked in reserve is not the best situation either...

Вопрос именно с точки зрения парашютного спорта, устройство парашютных запасок знаю, и в подобных условиях даже примитивная "круглая" З-5 сработала бы куда надёжнее, не говоря уже об остальных, которые с пружинным вытяжным парашютом.

    Not sure how paragliding reserves work & why she got so much line dump when she pulled it out. Most reserves Im familiar with have a bridle & several stows on the bag that are meant to release sequentially before the remainder of the lines are uncoiled out of the bag. It seemed like everything came out at all at once before she even had a chance to throw the reserve.

    So, it looks like both pilots were turning right but only she was looking right.The male pilot didn't look and judging by the speed, must have had a tailwind to come upon her so fast. Thats spooky to see her reserve wouldn't even come out of the pouch even with her help, repacks annually are well worth it and need to be done with trained people overseeing if possible.

    Something I’ve not seen mentioned yet - have heard strong advice never to put hands through the brake handles.
    If you watch the 360 vid (th-cam.com/video/XkvM48OFKlU/w-d-xo.html) slo-mo, BGD pilot is lucky her hands weren’t pinned when the Buzz lines wrap around her risers.
    You can see her struggle to pull her right hand free to reach for the reserve handle. Could explain the delay in going for the reserve.
    Lost an experienced acro pilot Z (who flew with brake handles around his wrists) years ago in an SIV when his risers twisted + pinned his gloved hands. He couldn’t free either hand from the brake handles to attempt deployment.

    Who was in the right/wrong is difficult to say with this ultra wide camera, and anyway its academic. It happened, and no amount of lecturing will stop it from happening again in future ... Many times. This demonstrates the importance of physically throwing your reserve before each repack... More important than the repack itself. Too many reserbes have had this very same deployment problem (and others too). Also makes you aware how awkward is the reserve throw-practice! Also drills you to not forget you have a reserve... Actually with 1 1/2 gliders and 1 reserve open I think there's more risk in throwing the second one. Maybe keep it in case you needed it closer to the ground. Looked like the first pilot was calm at first, panicked by the yelling, she was correct to keep a cool head- at that altitude/descent rate there's time to assess. Still, critique after the event is easy isnt it... Thanks, this'll help my students and pilots everywhere 🙏

He did not respect this and approaches again close to her. Shortly before the collision he is flying straigt, she saw this and thought he wants to make distance from her and than he suddenly turned around straight into her glider.

    I would say that the fault initially lies with the Ozone pilot, however, the aftermath was nothing but failure from the BDG pilot. The Ozone pilot was very quick with the reserve deployment, the BDG didn't have a clue, poorly maintained reserve or very badly packed, failed to pull the wing in, grabbing at the lines instead of pulling in the break. Glad both pilots are OK though that's the most important fact here.
