Falling from the Sky: Surviving My First Paramotor Engine Failure.

My first Paramotor engine failure was a non-event. My training practice and common sense made it what it was. The failure was a piston ring that broke off and with that, there was a small corner of the piston that broke as well. The damage is quite substantial. I will have to replace the Piston with rings and the Piston barrel (sleeve).

The camera filming you from behind was really cool! It felt like I was playing a videogame

That chasecam is so neat. Great work

[@dhunsworth]

I was thinking that too! Looks like a longer tow line than most?

@@dhunsworth He has a link in the description for the device that is tied to the end. Looks like a badminton shuttle on a long tow line

Thanks!

It is 3D Printed so it is relatively heavy. I made the line so that the CaseCam is just on the ground with my wing above me.
