[violentflow]

Nice! Great recovery.

Nice!

[ScorpioRay83]

I'm SOOOOOO happy you posted this video and explained. This is my only fear about PPG's. I can't wait till I can get in the air.

What kind of Paramotor do you fly?

[MaxxDiver]

in what cases do u need to use the full stall? anybody knows pls tell me

[dynamicz108]

Training

[MaxxDiver]

training for wt skill ?

[dynamicz108]

For training the skill - what if it happens and it doesnt correct itself.

you must know ho to recover the canopy if it doesnt for ya

[Piiiikay]

I use it as a "ctrl+alt+delete"-maneuver^^ Which means, that's some kind of exit if my wing has had a big collapse with a cravat, one side turns negative or something like that. As an Acropilot it was one of the first things I learned. But even after more than 100 FS's I still train it so that I can fly it in every difficult situation.

Remember to learn it in a SIV-training and not by yourself!

(Sorry for my English, my mother tongue is German)

that was more detailed answer i needed to learn .. please fill me in with more infor/details/tips u can share .. Danke :)

[EftelFan]

you don't need it.. or not a lot. It is just training; ''what should I do if?''

But.. you CAN use it in case you are very high and you can't manage to go down. You can make steep spirals, use big ears but also use a full stall.

[jessejessejesse3]

It's your "reset button" if you have a cravat or something that you can't fix while flying.

[cosminx2003]

why did that happen?

[mikefifield]

It happened because I pulled the breaks down below my waist and held them there. It was intentional, no need to worry paragliders don't do that sort of thing spontaneously. ;)

@mikefifield hi mike, my name is dylan, i am just getting into the sport as i have wanted to do it for years, im gonna do the training course in the summer this year and cant wait but watching your vid has made me ask this question to you,,,,,, " what are the statistics on these wings failing in mid air and what about the recovery time too, i am just curious as i like to know as much as possible so as to do things safely and correctly,, thanks for your time :-)

[jessejessejesse3]

ask your instructor and take an SIV course over the water. Wings never fail on their own in smooth air. Usually the pilot does something to make the wing react like that.

[mikefifield]

@Tool2142 Paragliding is very safe as long as you take lessons from a good instructor. Your wing will never do this on its own. A paraglider will only go into a full stall like this if you pull the breaks all the way down and hold them. It was done intentional. :)

[snoboarder2427]

@Tool2142 Dylan, there really is no need to worry. As an instructor I'll tell you that 99% of ALL accidents are PILOT error. The possibility of one just breaking mid air in normal flight is not going to happen. with that said, a couple years ago I saw a pilot explode an ancient glider(it was about 15 years old) and fly it to the ground. it had about 7 main lines attached to the canopy. That will attest to how well they flew back then, just think of how well they fly now. Hope you're flying

[b1marks]

Hey nicely shot. I have a Hero helmet Wide video camera (very small) and have had some success with it. I was looking forward to filming full stalls, spins ...... but worried about the risk of a line catching the camera. Any thoughts??

Thanks

[timothyp2009]

as other people have said, what do u pull to get the PG to open up and fill up again?

surely the wind will just blow over it?

riser? brakes?

[mikefifield]

To recover from a full stall, wait until you're centered under the glider then slowly release the breaks until the glider is mostly re-inflated (about two thirds of the way to the hands up position) then quickly release the rest of the way. Be ready to check a strong surge when the glider recovers. Wouldn't try this unless you have at least one reserve, a lake below you and boat support. ;)

[negaliusakyt]

nice

[kinggtupper]

how do you correct for this?

[olumppara]

good pilot

[jessejessejesse3]

Is this the Rush? I had the same colors on my Mojo. I have a similar video from a helmet cam and everything looks identical - The stall, re-inflation, and the video angle.

[5krif]

discuss: best ways to practice full stall recovery?

[mikefifield]

Over the water with a good insturctor on radio and boat support.

[manunitedfan1991]

lol i personally would shit myself

[sasktank]

scary

[ParaglidingManiac]

Looks like OZONE RUSH. And I thought it's impossible to make it to go into stall :D

[tjwright]

Pull the brakes deep and long enough on any glider and it will stall guaranteed!

[Goeland42]

Nice full stall

[maurofly83]

ottimo stallo..stabile e perfetta uscita:)
