I appreciate the posting of this longer length video to provide more context than the Facebook post, but I think it just confirms everyone's earlier comments. I understand in retrospect you know the danger you put that pilot in, but . . damn. The moving water, the lack of altitude, the earlier video warnings of his sudden elevation changes, the (apparent) lack of verbal communication in flight so you could agree/alert to the close fly-over? All of this is simply inexcusable. Furthermore, the attention paid to the wing damage at the end of the video as opposed to being focused ONLY on the colossal errors and cavalier attitude that caused the accident? It seems as if the gravity of the event still hasn't resonated with you appropriately. This all should serve as a warning to all pilots to be careful WHO they fly with. Being reckless with your own flying is one thing, but putting other pilots in danger is simply inexcusable.
Man if you are going screw around like that over water you should consider wearing a PFD. In the fixed wing world any prop strike is going result in an engine tear down and inspection of the prop.
Special shoutout to Tim from China, such a great gift! Repair looks amazing, and its nice that your able to utilize the 30 m still Dan !! Shout out to Azmat too, he handle it very well!!! Happy Safe Flying Guys
wrecked my wing... the audacity! 🤣 glad you guys fine! that could have been SO much worse. oh by the way i saw a kite flying nearby! these things are such traps for us pilots. if you fly in the line it will slice you or your wing like butter. super dangerous cause you cant see the lines while flying
I’m glad that it’s back home and repaired properly! Yeah, I saw those people kitting. They asked if it was OK to keep cutting while I takeoff! I told him as long as you don’t hit me 😂 Who would’ve known that I would’ve done the kite hitting of the other glider…
@@flyingdanwitha29sedan i just watched the video to the end. VERY nice repair job. i am shocked how well that turned out and i am happy the wing is up again. hope all saltwater didnt hurt it more? from all the terrible outcomes, this was for sure one of the better ones. imagine you guys are higher and he would end up in a spiral or something. it sucks and we all learn from it. cheers dan!
Wow, that would’ve had me on edge after that strike! So glad everything turned out fine, and your mate's okay. We all learn something new from experiences like that, don’t we? Amazing video, Dan-top-notch editing! Looking forward to more!
@@RichardHartshorneParamotor wow man I really appreciate that and you know we all make mistakes and I really didn’t make a big one on this one and I’m grateful that no one got hurt and what a learning lesson and I’m glad that I’m able to post videos like this so others can also learn from my mistakes. Thank you man. I have been working on the video for sometime.
Wow Wee!!! I would have skid stains in my whitey tightys after that strike! 😂 Glad the outcome was good Guys!! We all live n learn right! Great Video Dan, good editing 👌 keep them coming!!!
Thank you for posting this, first off glad everyone's ok! I fly with one of y best friends and I'm always getting close to his wing wanting to touch it..... this proves that there is just no reason for it and now I'll leave it alone and just enjoy the company with a little room to spare!
@@shanewyman9419 hey man! Thank you for watching and being respectful! You’re absolutely right no reason for this.. I’m glad that we didn’t get hurt.. hopefully we can fly together sometime soon!
Thank you for sharing! For all those saying that "I never do such stupid mistakes", just remember that we all say that until we do something similar and then we wonder "what was I thinking?". Happened to me without any bad consequences (luckily those times), I saw people with huge experience making beginner errors that got them hurt. So a video like this should remember us all to avoid complacency. I am glad that everybody is ok!
@@iustintarachiu9326 hey thanks for the nice words! I’m glad that we were both ok. Plus we went back up flying like ten minutes after this happened! Lot of people are being really rude and nasty.. I’m here just sharing my experiences with everyone.. the good the bad and even the ugly stuff.. I really appreciate you man!
@@flyingdanwitha29sedan it looked like the best case scenario for an unfortunate situation. Didn’t hurt your friend or equipment, heard you mention it was your wing. I hate damaging other peoples stuff! Glad all is well dude. Gotta make it out there and fly with you all one day.
@@CaptainMedocI appreciate that man! People don’t realize that I fly just about every day and people just wanna get me on the videos that they see that are bad! But they don’t watch any of my other videos 😂 But I’m not worried about those guys! I shared it again about and sometimes they’re ugly and this was a great learning lesson! Thanks for being one of the real ones! You’re the man!
Hey buddy that could have been a lot worse but I’m sure you know it. Thanks for reaching out after my original comment I’m glad I edited it because o was wrong. Anyways I hope you learn and pray for your safety always up there along with anyone who risks their lives in the name of flight. And I will subscribe to your channel because you make good content!
@@TAst-k1i just so you understand too I edited out a lot of that flight. I did yell over for him as soon as I was on the ground. I took that out because I was cursing a lot… I wanna make it very clear that I care about people way more than any thing! This was a really big learning lessons and you know what’s crazy is that we have done this always.. and now I’ll never do it again! And hey man, I really appreciate you following along and saying those nice words! I really appreciate that!
@ honestly I was just gonna edit what I said in the beginning. And I still will because I came off bad and that wasn’t my intention. I was trying to be I guesssarcastic but in a funnier way and it didn’t go right. I apologize.
@ no worries man I can just tell by the way you wrote it. You weren’t like the other people being really nasty. That’s why I answered you back! I can tell that you were trying to be more on a positive note! I really appreciate you watching and following along! That’s the one thing that’s sad about sometimes messages is they can be always misread!
Yes, we can certainly learn from this - don't be a dick. A totally avoidable event, with a bad attitude to aviation safety, that could have been so much more serious. Safety is no accident, you have to work at it and don't be a dick.
@@Catpanl i’ve been flying for over three years now. I have over 300 hours of Flying! I’ve flown all types of gliders As Bs and C wings. The lesson here is you don’t ever fly over a glider fully.. it’s one thing to do a tip touch and another thing if you’re flying behind that you can only basically touch their trailing edge of their wing. If so, just so the Paramotor is well behind you and there glider. But all around you stay away from other pilots. To fly safe. There’s nothing like flying Paramotor’s! It’s life-changing for me every single time! I am assuming that you fly?
@@flyingdanwitha29sedan Thats not really the lesson to learn here. Flying over gliders and wing walks are not crazy dangerous or advanced when done right. Before you do anything like that you've gotta communicate. 3 years experience is that sweet spot where you've been flying long enough that you to have confidence in your ability but not long enough to know how to safely do everything. Always make sure you communicate with the other pilots involved in any acro or showcase maneuvers. Glad you guys are ok! That could have been really gnarly! Looked like a bad ass and fun flight leading up to it.
@@travisarket your right! We should have been talking through it. But now I’m not about flying over like that. I’m in this for the good safe fun flying! Not being reckless or disrespectful
@@flyingdanwitha29sedan I think the biggest mistake is that you were trying to do this while he is taking off, so he came right up behind you. No a smart thing to do, but glad you both are still here to fly another day.
@@FlyBabyFlyPPG for sure! But he was aware of what I was doing, but still it was a big mistake and I know it won’t happen again because I won’t be doing it again!
@@flyingdanwitha29sedanmost love brother ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤fly baby fly forever we will wing touch hahahahaaa 😂😂😂😂😂😂 no flying over me sinking is something we don’t be able to control even❤❤❤❤❤ we’re good
Morons doing moron things. If you’re going to fly you need to have respect for how dangerous it is. If the other person would have been higher it could have been a disaster.

I would never fly with this guy. The worst thing a PPG pilot can do. Fly above and in front of another pilot.
