Pilot Forgets to Attach Tourist to Hang Glider
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2018
- A tourist in Switzerland went on a hang glider for the first time and was forced to hold on for dear life after realizing he wasn’t strapped in. Just a second after takeoff from a 4,000-foot mountain top, Chris Gursky realized he was not attached and spent more than two minutes clinging to the bar as he sailed over trees. The pilot, who was properly strapped in, apparently forgot to hook him up. The tourist from Florida hung on as the pilot did his best to find a place for an emergency landing. #InsideEdition
Seriously though. This man should hold a world record for longest hang glide with no harness
The Boss one arm
Can you imagine the people that try and beat his record?
@@starboy2013 splat
To be fair there is a harness, just not attached to him
There weren't any harnesses on the folks to pioneer the glider
“What’s the motto of your Hang Gliding business, sir?”
“Hang in there.”
😂😂😂😂....👍🏾
I am screaming laughing 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Omg i'm dead 😂😂😂

HAHAHHAHAH
Forrgetiing to strap someone in? Thats like a main part of the job. Thats like going skydiving and forgetting to bring your parachute
Oups
Hey. the guy signed a waiver, so...
@@JP-dw1fp That only covers mechanical error with the equipment, or possible unforseen weather pattern changes during the flight. If the pilot negligently forgets to strap the passenger in, then the company who offers these thrill rides is thoroughly liable for any injuries the passenger suffers as a result.
@TOMMY GOODWIN lmaooooo
He was on a dating site prior and was in a deep conversation..and lost focus.
The fact that he survived is a miracle.
Did he punch the Pilot ?...
Yes it was!!!
Due to this incident, did he get a coupon for one free ride?
Praise the LORD in Jesus holy namr
@@iviewthetube he got a free strapon
The pilot must be like: “you said you want an unforgettable experience”

LMFAOOOOO

Dude I made you Famouse for free, don't complaint if you make it out alive. Lol!! The Pilot.
Passenger: “You forgot to strap me in!”
Pilot: “You’re pulling my leg.”

Sorry folks,..but LMAO at this one! 👍
The power of adrenaline and the human mind. Tore his bicep holding on for life, and succeeding! incredible!
Excellent comment
@@aimlessdrive8723 look up calum von moger tearing his bicep. It’s not a micro tear. It’s a full tear from the muscle and is absolutely one of the most painful injuries, to hold on with a torn bicep is an incredible feat of mental toughness. D
@@aimlessdrive8723you would have fallen as an overweight gym rat
Passenger: I want you to take me for the ride of my life.
Pilot: Say no more
🤣🤣🤣
Enough said!!
😂 This tickled my funny bone!

You got that right buddy!
Hahahaha

Loooooooooooool
What a dope 1 job to do
When we landed, I would thank the pilot for not killing me, then kick his ass.
“We apologize for your unsatisfactory experience with a member of our crew. We would like to offer you a $100.00 credit towards your next flight experience with us “
Like it's gonna happen 😂
They need to offer that passenger a refund and reimbursement for his medical bills.
This man tore his bicep and was still hanging on. That adrenaline must’ve been kicking in something serious
Tore bicep doesn't hurt as bad as it sounds.
In the gym many people tear it , you still can finish the rep easily but you know you're in pain.
Sa V depends how hard, my dads arm completely gave out when he tore his
Al Phuckya It was either hold on or die, he was going to hold on until his arm physically could not anymore.
REDANDSILVER741 exactly. When you know you could die if you let go that adrenaline will make you superhuman
@@hardowider5054 If you tore your bicep it will make you let go and you would not be able to flex that muscle
How do you forget to hook him up to the glider?? That's like a rollercoaster operator forgetting to hit the button that lets the safety bars down.
Rachael Liz better yet how do you LET someone forget you're not locked in.!.
That's a flag you know. If there were that kind of accident in the near future you basically raise the flag for it
Ikr
Well if you do it so many times in a day, he could have thought he already did it when he was really thinking about the person before maybe?
@@sarahburggraf861 yep no way
This is why there should be two people doing the safety checks. When I went skydiving, the two instructors on the plane were checking and double checking each other and their harnesses. That's how it should be. One person being solely accountable makes it so much easier to f**k up.
SNL needs to fire their terrible writers and hire the people in this comment section.
Yes...SNL should have done that about 15 years ago.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 agree!!!
Pilot : Camera is attached
Pilot : I’m attached
Pilot : I feel like I’m forgetting one but let’s take off anyway😃

DAMMIT FLORIDA MAN, WHY IS IT ALWAYS YOU
😆😆😆
No Alabama
Passenger: "helllllllllllllllllp!"
Pilot: "get a grip man!"
He really found the adrenaline he was looking for.
I noticed he didn't forget to hook himself to the glider
He sure as hell didn't! Lol!!🤣
If it would have been the other way around they both would have been dead 😵
This comment has 69 likes so I'll leave it as it is.

😭😭😭😭😭🤣🙌🏾
He broke his biceps while hangin on !!! This man went beyonds his powers not to die !!
FACTS....FEAR IS A WONDERFUL DRUG💯💯💯
He earned his life back
You never know the strength you have until it’s needed...
wildstyle203 yeahcman fear and adrenaline.did you know if youre fighting someone who has you in a choke and you keep knifing him constantly or if you shoot him in the head once or twice. he will not let go until you die or he can strangle you for really long its called the dead mans grip.it lets you stay conscious when you would normally be dead because of the adrenaline and pure hate for the guy you have in your arms.
@@uzi6497 that's pretty cool
how can he forget, these should be on the checklist before setting off.
And it’s common sense
Like, for real 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Probably forgot the checklist, too.
I will bet you this is the one day of his life that he will never forget.
50 bucks he'll forget!
Omg , I'm glad he's OK. I bet he was terrified. I would of been too, and it had a camera mounted on it to capture it all.
@Marli Mondragon I wouldn't say breaking his wrist is really much of a concern, given what could've happened
Jason's Journeys there is always a comment that says the obvious and gets likes
Yeah everything in 2018 basically recorded in camera
+Adam
Exactly.
U do know that we know that they was a camera to capture it all dumb ass
The pilot didn't forget to attach camera though 😐
Camera is permanently fixed 🙈
Lol
He needed his views on TH-cam. Do you know how kuch the pilot makes with this viral video? Wonder if he did it intentionally for views. People would do anything these days for money.
MyYTChannel
Um he almost killed someone, he’s going to be sued so hard that he’ll be homeless. And of course fired
Thank god lol
It's a good thing the tourist realized he wasn't strapped in, and in a split second held on to that bar. That pilot should find another career, that was inexcusable.
This is the only sensible comment to this I've read so far. Thanks.
Well no, he should’ve let go immediately. But honestly, I can’t fathom how he didn’t realize it beforehand. I definitely would’ve known that I was in a harness that wasn’t attached to anything lol
@@spiritofthewinds9089 You're welcome.
Pilot: "Camera strapped"-check
"I'm Strapped"-check
"Okay, ready, let's go!"

I see a lawsuit gliding in ! 😲

Badum tush
Hold on dont go jumping to conclusions here.
You cant get blood from a stone, I am sure this operation does not have deep pockets or the pilot.

Pilot: Okay, let’s go.
Hang gliding at a carnival!
🤣🤣🤣
Leroy jankins!!
Smh...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ohh that was funny
Friends: How was your hang glider experience?
Him: I don't want to talk about it.
His grip strength directly affects how big the lawsuit will be.
Dont try to give this pilot a high five, he'll leave you hanging on that too.
Oh god ur comment made really sense
Uhgene Ignorian lollll
Lmao

This is why I love being on the ground.

Better than being under the ground.
This is why I don't trust others.
"Nothing to worry about Sir, I've done this hundreds of times!"

Over two minute bodyweight grip on a moving object? That's pretty strong!
“The danger was real”. Thanks for that explanation. I was thinking it was fake
That made me really laugh
Cody Cha 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh the shade😂
It's a good thing that he told you then.
Cody Cha lmao 😂😂
This guy would win the prizes at the carnival if he can hold on for 2 minutes.
I was thinking of that exact game when watching this. At the theme park however nobody is able to hang on long enough to win the prize.
Kim Bassett that’s because the bar at the carnival rotates
Aww, I did not know that!

Pilot: "Huh? He was just suppose to help me run down the runway, not fly with me"
Why didn't the pilot land just after taking off? Instead he takes the client all the way on a white knuckle ride
Wanted to give him his money's worth.
Pilot: He can't sue me if he's dead. lol
Because hang gliders need a long runway to land safely. After he realized the problem, there was no safe place to land.
Pilot is obviously a d*ck.
"Excuse me, is this normal?".
"Is what norm--- HOLEEEEE SHEEIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!".
"So no?".

Note 2 self : scratch hang gliding off bucket list
Well you could actually do the hang gliding last and then if you Plummet to your death at least you'll have accomplished everything on your bucket list lol
Right!!!! Note to self; never go hang gliding
@@priscillamckinlay6531 XD YEP
They could make alot of money if they advertised to depressed suicidal people, hey, fancy a handgliding experience where your instructor may or may not hook you up properly..:/
Ppl always become fearful based off an accident. Life a little, you know we all have an expiration date right?
This is why I will never ever do anything like this. Period
Hang for 1 minute and get 100$
Him: How about 200$
For sure, he has an unforgettable experience.......
Nothing is unforgettable if you get hit hard enough in the head...
That must be terrifying. I hope he sued the company.
Wht company there is no ca
Capany he should do it to the guy who forgot
@@juanhgames5356 yeah that's what I meant
Why always sue?!!
kitteekittee to get a fat check? Why else? lmao
He’s lucky and blessed. Any good company would have a third person check. But how did he not realize he’s not strapped in?
Was cringing the whole time! Terrifying! Dude tore his muscle holding on! Can’t imagine.
Plot twist: The pilot is an assassin & they were trying to make the guy's death look like an accident.

His heart came out his chest on this day.
I'd have put hands on that instructor as soon as we landed.
Those hands would be trash...that man tore his bicep and broke his wrist. I feel you though... heal first box later 🤣
he broke his wrist and tore his bicep
Rookie mistake, license should be permanently banned. Its something you should never miss.
huh? you got a boyfriend I bet he doesn’t kiss ya
Hoposhowgo mwah
Ben Dover he gonna find another girl and he won’t miss ya
Den888 999 shouldn't the passenger also check himself to see if he's secured properly?
Like c'mon. If you're doing something for the first time or something is gonna get you nervous, your instincts is to check if you're very safe before take off... Like rollercoasters and other rides
Lety Sasa He gon skrrt and hit the dab like wiz khalifa
- I want unparalleled adrenaline rush and an unforgettable experience.
- Hold my pants.
Hold nah beer
Hahahaha
I think he bricked his pants. 😂
Oh God I really didn't wanna laugh, this is terrifying...but that got me ☝️

What hanging on to 2020 feels like !
Where’s the rest of the story? I was gripping my iPad for dear life watching this! Glad he was so strong and could hold on, amazing! Poor guy!
“i’m going to attach the camera but i’m going to forget to attach the tourist to the hang glider”
That's why he attached the camera so that he could record the incident.
That’s kind of a different thing
LAUGH & CRY WITH OPEN EYES what?? did he intentionally attach the camera and forget to attach the tourist?
@@Aviciifi yes
Brandon DeRue lol
They told him the ride would be " The thrill of your life". He defiantly got his money's worth.

I know the pilot felt awful. I pray he find it to forgive him, if he ever held anything in his heart and that the pilot forgive himself. He tried desperately to hold the man as well. Thank God no deaths happened.
youre too nice

Instructor should be severely fined. Also, kudos to the guy for holding on for as long as he did. Hanging like that for 2 mins is no joke
Master Debater everyone makes mistakes. It was a clear accident.
Marwan Amireh don’t care he should be held responsible and sued
Marwan Amireh this is a mistake that could have very much led to this guys death if he had lost grip for even a second. Yes, mistakes happen. But mistakes like this should NEVER happen if it’s your job to do it.
i agree, but unfortunately the guy probably signed a waiver so the instructor can’t be sued/fined :/
Maybe true but the company will fire him or they will lose business
Does anyone else wonder how much they settled for in court ?
Yes, I do!
Im sure he signed a waiver
@@nateh2665 I don’t think a waiver releases them from responsibility for their negligence...
@@HookCircle is that not what a waiver is lol.
You can still sue a company even if you signed a waiver. And you can still win a case.
UPDATE:the pilot was fired due to a lawsuit, but he found a new job as a bungee jumper trainer
His ex wife recommended this hang gliding business...
This is a close second to my best comment of the month award
Jose Torres . No it was his current wife. She took out life insurance 6 months before.
She reccomended it 5000% lol
😂😂
Lol
How did either of them not realize he wasn’t strapped? Id be too scared & make sure everything’s how it should be before I take off lol
Complacency
I'm guessing distracting pre-flight conversation is to blame.
Same, i would even hold the glider after strapped in. You can never know, and the video is enough proof.
People die all the time for not realizing somebody is strapped. Boom!
If the guy is hang gliding for the first tine, how was he supposed to know what the whole thing should look like? And even if it wasn't, it is still the pilot's responsibility to keep the passenger safe.
"You ready? "
" yea hold on lemme get a better grip"
How difficult is it to do the ONE THING in pre flight Safety ? A HANG CHECK to make sure your harness is securely carabiner attached to the FKNG GLIDER !
Does anybody know the name of this hang gliding company? My mother in law has always wanted to hand glide. Thanks
🤭😏 Oh you devil you!😈
😂😂😂😂 Good one... Did you get the name of the company ? Pls inform me too...😂😂
Hang "on to your britches" gliding
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
This guy would win the 100 second bar challenge
No, the 1 min challenge is spinning
Anyone would if their lives were on the line.
it’s a joke
Uezov the challenge bar is free spinning
Uezov Adrenaline makes you do crazy things. I once was attacked by a flock of geese. Pretty sure I broke Usain Bolt’s record that day getting away.
Imagine thinking about this for weeks. Facing your fears and then this happens 😭
I'm pretty sure the local residents underneath that glitter's flight path would have experienced funny smelling brown lumps of "hail" if I was the one hanging up there.
I’m glad he’s okay and I hate to be critical but wouldn’t one of them notice that he didn’t have in the umpteen straps? 🤔
Right?? The first question you would ask is, “Ok, so do I get to be strapped on or do I just hold onto you?”

What we don't see is that his wife just took out a life insurance policy out on him and the instructor is her lover... It's a perfect crime
Lol...
I saw that episode being aired omg they were just messy about it.
Is this legit?

Wouldn't the instructor be charged with murder though?
I suppose this was a complimentary flight, so that's a win i'd say
I mean, his experience must have been life threadening, but I'm currently fear for my life by dying of laughter reading the comments 🤣

Confidence makes you attractive. You wanna be more attractive? Start knowing you're attractive
@@ghostwalk2446 What if you just aren't attractive though? Trying really hard to look attractive when you know you're ugly just makes you look delusional. At least if you own that you're ugly people can see that you're confident in accepting your flaws. Now that's TRUE confidence.

No lie, that’s the coolest story ever to tell the grandkids. Awesome man. Not so awesome Pilot. He probably has more nightmares than the passenger! Like about being sued for negligent behavior!
Suing is an American thing..Its probably much more difficult in Switzerland

noahmeme2 why not
@@noahmeme2 yes he should, if someone weak was flying they could have fell and died.
you don't need a licence to fly a hanglider but I believe he should have his tandem flight licence suspended until further notice with a fine and investigation to get it back.
The only American thing there is to do in this situation
SUE
Edit: y’all gotta chill, it’s a joke... but I’m being dead serious about him needing to sue lmfao. You’re gonna prematurely wrinkle getting that upset over a TH-cam comment.
Honestly tho
I know the guy didn’t
But I wouldn’t blame him if he had sued
This was a serious situation where he could have potentially died due to that flyer’s negligence
But can you blame him if he did though?
Like he almost died lmao this isn’t some petty “I want to see the manager” business this is his life
Of course he is suing, who wouldn’t
Honey B why wouldn’t you
Honey B yup the true American thing to do Americans sue for everything
"The passenger can be heard yelling obscenities at the instructor the entire time. Tragically, due to her bad shoulder and weak grip the passenger finally let's go. She can still be heard cursing the instructor as she falls to the forest below." The end. lol
This just shows the body will do anything for survival no matter the pain.
