I flew hang gliders avidly for 12 years (before I got into experimental airplanes and learned how to REALLY spend money on flying) and was not just a fair weather flyer. During many hundreds of flights (one 12,000' altitude gain) I only fell down on landing (exactly) three times.
Nice place to fly. Could you take picture or video of you machine and mainly your cockpit to see what you have and how it is mounted? I would like to see it.
#1. Paraglider probably collapsed from wake turbulance of pg in front of and just above him, Those things disturb a lot of air(slow and dirty) #2. No bones about it - Don't fly when it's crackin off like that or better yet grab your hang glider. and if you didn't figure how bad it was 'cause you hadda go first - go out and land asap #3. I hope he dropped the line somewhere easily reteiveable - looks like he had plenty of time #4. Pink/purple glider - Single surface gliders are forgiving but flying that slow that high is unforgiven. Bring the glider into ground effect with that all important control factor - speed! Then keep it only a couple of feet off the ground and when the glider is nearly out of energy...flare! Transitioning bobble is the cause of more than a few less than perfect landings, but not this one - he just mushed it in - forced a stall #5. Topless gliders ground effect for ever - those things need flaps. They tried drouge chutes but those things turned out to be dangerous #6.Paramotor - Oh hell no! Too suceptable to crosswinds on launch and landing #7. Is that one guy with 2 prop strikes? I think that was his cell phone - texting and flying - shame - Fly the plane! #8. Not an experienced pg pilot and now less about ppg, but it seems to me the pilot lost his ram air when he kinda flared - if he maintained a steady slightly lower AOA he woulda been ok. Anyway that's my take. Go get some air!
#4? What? Were you watching the same video? He didn't come in slow (the video slowed down, not him) , and he didnt stall. He wacked because he pulled in just a few feet off the ground.
Hi Jake, it depends o the Wind coming form the front and the Performance of the Glider. If we have enough Wind, it can be 20 Meters, if there is no Wind, up to 50. Best regards, Gunter
El que haya cuatro tontos que no han hecho un curso en condiciones, no quiere decir que éste deporte sea peligroso si se lleva una completa enseñanza, mucha teoría y mucha práctica profesional y progresiva.
Shift-down. Процесс, аналогичный лок-ауту при аэробуксировке дельтапланов и имеющий сохожие причины возникновения. Погубил немало очень опытных пилотов. До сих пор не исследован. Является чрезвычайно опасным режимом вследствие малоизученности и непредсказуемости.
I suffered the same dilemma at 2:55, I cut off the line with !! otherwise he has certainly died..and when he landed he said,,ok thats was fun..he dont grasp nothing,,
Thank you! For the video and English subtitles!!
You are welcome
Thanks for this contribution!
I took notes from this video. Thanks for posting it.

Good for you!
I wish i get a chance in my life to fly....
Do you want a medal?
Awesome. Great edit, loved it.
thank you for this video. you have dedicated time to save all of us.
Thank you for this comment. Yes, we all must face those situations and must think before and while flying.

Well done, makes an interesting watch!
Thank you
Hello Martin, you are welcome, thank you.
Thank you for uploading this. We can always learn from our mistakes.
Yes, if you live through them.
You are welcome - danke!
Very useful danke for posting!
I've wanted to hang glide ever since I was a little kid when I saw a man doing it at a park in New Jersey I was about six years old
Der nächste Stall @1:34 hast du ne ahnung was ein stall ist das sind klapper ??
Würde sagen Frontstall mit seitlichem Wegdrehen - habe das ja live mit ansehen müssen, mir stockte der Atem.
Its not about minimizing mistakes. Its how you deal with them.
Hi, if you mean the sequences with the chasecam, there is no single Video about it. Best regards

Sharp analyzed - thank you.

@FooBar Maximus you do get wake from a paraglider :) there's lots of dirty air behind anything that flies, powered or not.
#5 why dangerous? I see a friend do it quite often without any issue...
what is the original video at the end?
I just wonder when u guys enjoy the trike type paraglider, how long runway(or just ground) u need?

I appreciate this, Gunter.
Actually I just participated in a project related with LSA. Your mention helps me a lot. Thanks.
Jake Jeon You are welcome.
👍👍👍
Toll gunter....!¡.🤩🤗😍😍🤩🤗🤗😍🤩🤩🤗😍😍😘😍🤗😍😊😊😊
And that means?

If your are ever interested in doing something just watch the fails and that will save you a lot of money... :P Thanks :D
Thank you - you are welcome
Because we learn how before we fly !!!!
Nice
gutes rating für gutes Video
How do you say moron in GERMAN!
Hang gliders don't collapse in flight
Вывод - бескаркасные крылья опасны.

Wtf so viele Videos sind deutsch
Wtf warum nicht?
Interesante

Why don't you see these screw-ups on American video ???
What do you mean? Gunter, area28
Die Kommentare sind größtenteils falsch, verstehe der Macher dieses Video überhaupt was vom fliegen?
2:02 sollte sich ein anders Hobby suchen. Vielleicht Fußball.
"Das war nix" hahaha :D
Thanks - nice editing here's a link to my last video - Fri 6 7 14
