Such cases are a bit unpredictable, what happened is probably the best possible scenario. Cool to see it all went fine :) Pre-flight checks are of course important, but also is trusting one's intuition when it says that maybe something is not right, before the take off. This has saved my ass multiple times. One good practice is to pull the brake lines to the outside, just before the take off. That way the wing bends to a nicer shape, quite often it will also undo some knots and show the others, as well as detatch trailing edge and brakes from any sharp objects on the ground. At that time you'd also see if brakes are twisted with anything else.

Hezky, to znam, jen se mi to stalo jen na Jevince :) Dopadlo to jeste moc dobre a i klapanec jsi hezky ustal, za me klobouk dolu za nasledne nepodlehnuti paniky :)
You are lucky, glad this had such an outcome. BUT I once took off with the same issue and was able to grab the brake lines above the twist and flew like this to the landing.
Like the other guys said, build a wall, check the lines, bring it up overhead and kite it for 2 seconds to make sure everything is perfect before turning around
I realize this is true, and my trainer told me this too. However, if you are going to fly you should really be able to connect the wing correctly every time. You should not need to keep the harness and wing connected. just sayin.
@@kevinshort3943 cause if you have to detach at some point, you dont have the routine. I once had to help a fellow pg guy to re-attach cause he had no idea how to and if i would not have been there he would have had to walk back down cause he didnt trust himself with it.
Good save, must have been very distracted. That is a tangled mess to look at at 14 seconds in. I'm guessing you never even looked at the lines because that doesn't even resemble being ready to kite.
@@joelhanson5304 You'll still do it plenty of times... the attachment is really easy. And you'll be more careful and take your time when actually putting it on if you have to. But once it's clipped properly then you can't make mistake of clipping it in wrong. Prevention is always better than correction.
@@joelhanson5304 make sure to undo all the loops in the harness completely. Also take out the laces from your shoes all the way, just in case you forget how to put them back on :)
Yep. As this video is almost 5 years old I survived many hours in the air after that :) Now I am back in saiplanes again and PG period is over for me - though it was fun.
...next time leave the wing at home and go hike. It took me 0.1 secs to see there was something wrong with your lines. Who gave you the licence? Mickey Mouse??
Lucky you. I am not that perfect. So I share my mistakes. Others can learn from them. And yes I have flying license from Mickey Mouse for more than 30 years PPL and 18 years PG.
@@IFGCZ Woah! 30 years of experience and you STILL can't figure out when your lines are tangled?? Dude, no offence but you better quit the sport...obviously it's not the right activity for you...you risk your life! But thank you to show us that a "veterain" can still mess up an easy take off. If you were to take off in a different area...things would have gone very different. Lucky you!
@@nithho349 Yes, it was a fatal failure that the pilot shares in the video for other pilots to watch out for pre-flight preparation. Therefore, strong words are out of place.
@@DL-kc8fc what strong words?! I just advised an old fella to quit with a sport that could potentially kill him. No offence, but as I said, in a different take off area things would have gone very differentòy! Plus, don't you have a licence? did they teach you to do the pre-flight check again and again? if not, either you didn't pay attention during the course (shame on u...u risk ur life), or the sport is not for you. If you get hurt, you end up in hospital and we pay for your mistakes with our taxes.
Good example, thank you. You helped other pilots and you will likely never do it again, and you didn't get hurt, so it is a win-win.
That was the best possible outcome🤞
Yes it was a lucky day :) Good news is that ia have survived anothe 4 years of flying.
@@IFGCZ 😅
Thanks for Sharing!
Good reaction, landing instead of flying, you handled well the situation.
Take care
Lucky !! Shows the importance of a thorough pre-flight check. I'm sure you'll never miss that again ;-)
Correct, since then I never launched in a hurry or stress. And I am still alive :)
Thank you for uploading!!!
Can you at least kite it and check continuity before launching?
So glad you lived to fly another day!

Always good to have a post take off check too.

It makes it much harder to mess up, if you keep your harness attached to the risers.

like always attached? is this what you recommend? i don't always keep my pants on.. gotta know how to do that one leg at a time.
Or you just make a quick check before taking off
Thanks for sharing. We all learn
Nice sharing. Lesson to everyone of us. 👍
Thanks for sharering
build a wall first to check the lines then pull up. Glad you are OK
Take care.
Always reattach brake lines so they don't fall thru other lines.
Always check lines before launch
It was already visible at 00:12 that something is wrong with thw lines. Btw. Good reaction
Pretty soft landing honestly.
very good decision, it got mixed up a lot :))))
Good save, must have been very distracted. That is a tangled mess to look at at 14 seconds in. I'm guessing you never even looked at the lines because that doesn't even resemble being ready to kite.
Try not unclipping the glider. Just lay it out and fold it while still attached to the harness. It will make this error impossible.
and you'll also never learn how to do it correctly

@@TheGrundigg oh yeah makes perfect sense, I'm going to start doing this with my climbing rope as well.

Really?
Fly safe brother
Someone gave you a second chance. I always check, check and check again. Be safe
Yep. As this video is almost 5 years old I survived many hours in the air after that :) Now I am back in saiplanes again and PG period is over for me - though it was fun.
Gee, that was not fatal. I have flown all the way down to the lz like that. No problem
but you sound like a dumb azz for even saying that. My lines are twisted and tangled, hey no problem you should try it. Really? What's your point?
I thought I was deaf
Learn by it, so there won't be a next time.
lucky end
Don't touch the handles like that. This is dangerous both during takeoff and flying
Это не ошибка - это разгильдяйство.
That was not a mistake, it was deliberate foolhardiness. Never launch with twisted lines.
Check check and check again,
je lepsi ze ti to klaplo a sel si dolu v takove vysce
Du grand n'importe quoi 😏
Sell your gopro and learn to fly ! 😀
Eww
