My question also!! I had to save mt arse off for my new wing, and the thought of it even getting wet hurts my soul, but to see them destroy a brand new wing i'd kill for pains me!!
@@patrickswayze2596 You can put new lines on a wing. Its not hard. As for it getting wet its not good for it but will be fine once it dries out. Thats all assuming they found it.
Despite the fact that you cut the lines on this wing, which can be replaced anyway, I would like to mention that I appreciate that you did this, this has greatly increased my confidence in my wing, also a Mirage but an RS. So, thanks for this video. Curiously, does anyone know how much it costs to put on a set of new lines changed by Swing?
you can easily do it yourself if you have a bit of experience or watched a tutorial. woudnt recomend doing the WHOLE line set by yourself tho, i guess by now you already found out and you can always send them in for a check up and ask them to fix it, a friend of mine payed 120 Euro for 1 replacement string (not swing paragliders tho)
This hurts my soul watching a perfectly good wing being destroyed for no good reason other then video purposes! So many people who watched this would kill for that wing!
julian K yeah I know man, but it still stings watching it knowing both the costs of the wing, low altitude cut and the inherent risks involved in such a situation. Not disrespecting the pilot, just curious is all
@@patrickswayze2596 1. As julian said, its just a new lineset which is fairly cheap. 2. Their setup seems to suggest they're acro pilots (cut away base rig), so honestly this really isn't that risky for them since they normally have 2-3 backup chutes and are used to throwing them. 3. As for why cut the lines? Probably just for the attention, but it does provide some interesting insight into how the wing behaves. So using their first 2 cuts, you can see that in stable and level flight, losing a rear riser line wouldn't be as bad as you'd expect.
no, he made modifications to the "carabiner" so basically replaced them with strings instead of metal ones, so he would of been able to cut it just the knif e was soo shitty
Crazy bastard hahaha Not sure as to why you chose to do this stunt? Could you please elaborate your motivations to attempt this test? Cheers mate, J from Aus 👊🏼
TONY LAWRENCE but learn what? What could I possibly learn from this when it makes no sense and doesn’t explain the reasoning (motivations) why they did this and for what reason?
people who are intentionally going to destroy a perfectly good wing for fuck knows why! I'd want my BASE rig over my reserve if cutting at that low altitude!
What is the purpose of that?
why?
Jeff Ayliffe that was the exact same comment I was going to ask... I would love to be able to afford to cut the lines to one.

So do we know why?
@@patrickswayze2596 Calm down its just the lines, Damn. Swing replacement lines arnt even expensive, and the wing isnt destroyed
It's an interesting exercise. As a wingman I always have fear a gust or a collision will damage my lines. Then what?

Those orange hook knives are banned i Sweden for skydiving. Interesting to see why.

its not that expensive to send to swing and get a new line set.

You hooked the knife on the carabiner, no wonder that it broke..

e was soo shitty
@@goldentiger1266 Ahh I see, yes u r correct. It is a shitty knife then :D

motivations? is how we learn. we either learn the easy way? or the hard way. or live and learn or learn and live
TONY LAWRENCE yes, motivations!.. what was the reasoning for making a decision to do that. Is English your first Language?
TONY LAWRENCE but learn what? What could I possibly learn from this when it makes no sense and doesn’t explain the reasoning (motivations) why they did this and for what reason?
What make and model was the (successfull) black knife
I have a suggestion for a followup video: Giving away my wing
That was very intelligent......
yess! :D
My old wing 😅
No lines or wings were harmed in the making of this video. In fact it's all setup to try again tomorrow :)
Why do you do this why😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭May the wing rest in peace
live and learn or learn and live. thats why.
Unique...🧐
There is me that want a speedwing and he do this
Why
So much risk!
cut the lines?????? give me
mitarsky feel you
Did you pay the 1000 euro to the kids to get your wing back, or did they just eat the mars bars on the brake lines and forgot about the money ;)
guess you needed a new wing.
no he only needs new strings that arnt even expensive..
Monte Baldo 😊 👍🏼
Tu é de massssss
HAHAHA What an awesome ViD !XD
Sketch
send it to me dont ruin it :D
its not ruined he just cut inexpensive lines that can be replaced
@@goldentiger1266 yea was kidding
Cut the lines on your BASE.
Who uses a reserve when speedflying? Totaly useless
people who are intentionally going to destroy a perfectly good wing for fuck knows why!
I'd want my BASE rig over my reserve if cutting at that low altitude!
@@patrickswayze2596 calm down he only destroyed inexpensive strings that can be replaced in a matter of minutes
i think your better of without needing a reserve then need one but dont have one..
