Disaster !

[Mrcherokee19]

actualy, water is allot safer to fall into than solid ground. Yes, the impact will be unpleasant to say the least and yes you will more than likely break multiple bones. However the impact from water is MUCH more desirable than land. If you dont believe me then look it up on myth busters.

[Kyser477]

So lucky that this was over water

[stormchaserFR]

@Kyser477 No, because if you fall from this height, water is like stone. A fall of 30 meters is enough to die

[ThePokerTour]

@stormchaserFR dumb ass no one is saying water cant kill but the survive rate is much higher then land 5+ meter are enough to kill and his fall was breaked a little bit from the glyder so its beter to fall in water then ground

[Jlamers69]

Well he said to open the rescue........

[parmstrong32x]

Not a big deal since the pilot landed in water?

[Nilsonafo]

The pilot is well? what happened to him not playing the reserves?

[toximaxi]

@Nilsonafo she's ok, she's known after this event in Hungarian paraglider life as Fullstall Zsófi (her name is Zsófi) :D really!

[damnfunny2001]

oh shit.i am screwed...i dont know swimming...headline would read parachute guy fell from sky and drowned..how pathetic:-(

[gigapikaso]

is he dead?



[BAAAASJE]

Dumbass instructor, you should NEVER pull the reserve chute when you are still atached to your main, first pull the cutaway handle, then pull your rescue/reserve.

In this case the malfunction was caused by the person at very low altitude, it would have killed him if he pulled cutaway and reserve or just reserve. hitting water at 120mp/h is quite deadly though...

[nocalsteve]

@BAAAASJE It's a paraglider not a skydiver, the main canopy doesn't cutaway. The rescue chute brings everything down together.

[lgarvey]

@BAAAASJE This is a paraglider canopy. There is no cutaway handle.

[NuteGunray94]

open the rescue chute open open and he dont do this^^ egoism power

[zumsel6020]

@NuteGunray94 i think he got completely wrapped in the risers and lines, since he fell into his wing...must have felt like being caught in a fishernet.

[wmgforever]

@zumsel6020 not he - shee. Her name is Zsófi, and she was a young, pretty hungarian girl. It happened so many years ago. The instructor was Peter Simonics, who had broken the world record of free flying. As you wrote, Zsófi wasn't able to control the process, moreover she didn't understand her radio. Otherwise she didn't get injured. Happy landings.

[otto63363]

basszátok meg!!!!! miért nem nyitotta ki????elaludt????Zsolti!!!!!!

[CaMoGHost2345]

no wonder i found this under HOLY SHIT!

[66Airborne]

Unfortunately, some pilots become panic, or the fall in a kind of a static shock, which makes them unable to act probably. For this reason, such training is actually very good, this training gives you normally the right reflex to act probably. However, if this pilot has the problem again, then he should stop flying.

[ricmuniz]

After this SIV the pilot abandoned paraglider. Who need SIV? No thanks!

[smartkiltedman]

"Now the canopy is stalled don't worry" ...okay sure.

[zumsel6020]

@smartkiltedman this was supposed to happen, youre doing this maneuvre in training...problem was he opened the brakes immediatly instead of smoothly...anyway...paraglidin­g's not chess ;)

[TheInlovewithJB]

dangggggggggggggggg!!!!!

[MrThekillerFR]

what a luck he fall in the sea :D

[Pier2pie]

@MrThekillerFR thats terrible, the rope can strangle him or drown him

[MrThekillerFR]

@Pier2pie you're right ^^

[ElroyHarvey]

@MrThekillerFR They normally do SIV training over water, You learn control of the glider By inducing collapses and recovering in a controlled enviroment with a rescue boat and instructors.

[ebutuoy1324354657687]

At least he fell in water thats all i can say

[VoelligHarmlos]

Idiot!

[sn1054a]

That is why they do these exercises above waters :)

well done... she is gonna be an extremely good instructor

eRR

[timaty85]

Охуеть....

[MsRoxetta]

menos mal que cayo en el agua!!sino...

[winterka100]

I've saved enough money to buy my paraglider. but before I fly it I need to buy myself a lake to crash into like all the other paraglider pilots.

[energy123ish]

ez megilyedt

[TehGameMaker]

i was like... OMG HES SCREWED, then there was water. -.-

[fldr111]

idiot

[ripcurl010]

lucky that was over water

[netfischer]

@ripcurl010 He is still rly fast, dont know wether that helped in that case

[zwumpuklen]

And besides, this dude didn't jump from a plane because that's not a skydiving canopy, it's a paraglider...

[zwumpuklen]

@diramonsky you truly are a wuffo :) If you knew the sensation of skydiving, you would think otherwise

[colinkeightley]

It's a good job paragliders don't jump out of planes then dumbass, as for practicing stalls there are many situations you may need to induce a stall. And as for the why no reserve the guy has just been gift wrapped he may still have his arms stuck in lines or anything

[diramonsky]

Jumping from a plane counting on some sheet to slow your fall is just another sign of the deevolution of the human mind.

[theantiantichrist]

@diramonsky Your comment is an excellent example of the lag that pervades a society, between it's most intelligent members, and the majority population.

[sweatykev01]

@diramonsky he's lucky that's one well constructed, perfectly engineered, extremely expensive sheet. you can thank paragliders and skydivers for pushing on and refining the sport technology that's used by paratroopers, humanitarian food parcel drops and bringing back space shuttles safely. and it may be primitive instincts that make these sports exciting but you wouldn't understand until you've flown a para-glider or made your first skydive. GO SKYDIVE!! :+)

[barinit]

@diramonsky and you think this because????? maybe your a retard that doesn't know what he is talking about. you just stay at your little desk pulling the belly out of yourself and leave real living to people that know how to enjoy life. in one jump a skydiver has lived more than you ever will. you should try it hope your chute doesn't open

[diramonsky]

@barinit

So jumping out of a plane is living? And if you haven't jumped out of a plane you haven't lived? That's just your opinion. Personally I think you haven't lived untill you fucked 2 women at the same time and that's a lot safer and less dumb looking then jumping out of a perfectly fina airplane. These people who fall to their deaths due to "technical failures" must be agreeing with me for sure. You just don't know what to do with your life anymore so you do stupid shit, it's pretty sad.

[barinit]

@diramonsky to be honest man i HAVE fucked 2 women and i go skydiving so trust me i have lived, skydiving is safe the only thing that makes it not safe is the person themselves fucking up a pack job or pilot error. so come back to me when you have done both as well, ONLY THEN can we have a conversation about skydiving. you are obviously have a fear of heights.

[diramonsky]

@barinit

I think you're pretty much desperate for action if you have to jump out of planes to get your adrenaline pumping. Seriously, those people being pancaked by gravity deserve it every little bit. I'm laughing my ass of at them. That's pretty much all I have to say about this anyway.It makes for pretty funny videos so please, keep it up all of you.Same goed for extreme skieers, skateboarders, dragracers and all of you stuntman retards.

[barinit]

@diramonsky I have one word for you. PUSSY!!!, i see by your channel your a wanna be army barmy soldier boy, would you say the same shit about the guy's out in Afghanistan which are going through much more dangerous stuff than skydiving. i bet you wouldnt even say shit to my face, i'd knock you the fuck out.. at least i have the bottle to do what i want to do and not sit behind a computer and pretend to do it. stay safe behind your computer and keep uploading your arma 2 videos, FREAK!!!!!!!

[diramonsky]

@barinit

You ain't knocking shit out. Just promise me that your relatives will make the vid of you squashing into mother eart go viral. I'd love to see it. I've been closer to death then you will ever be....unless you're dying. You think you're tough and ballsy, that's why you defend skydinving. That's the way you want people to see you. To me, that's the most pathetic and desparete wat to get attention. Seriously, you're like the little kid saying, Look mom, I can ride with no hands, lmao.

[diramonsky]

@barinit

And your wall is downright pathetic, all kiddy friends and all, LOL!

[barinit]

@diramonsky ha ha ha your comical how the fuck can you comment on how close to death i have been. shame you didn't get that bit closer. your boring me fucking internet hard man ha ha ha ha. and by the way those people added me as friends i don't know them, sad that you judge a person by how many friends they have on youtube just goes to show the life you lead. your YOUTUBE mates are probobly the only mates you have.

[diramonsky]

@barinit

ghehe, there you go showing your true self. A pissed of little boy jealous of me having more succes on YT. Frankly I couldn't care less about my YT page because I have A LIFE, which i cherish btw. Only reason I'm here commenting is to piss on your pathetic comments and show people here what kind of people do backward things like this. People who seek attention and people who are insecure about how other people view them. Seriously, I can see right through you, little jumping man.

[barinit]

@diramonsky ha ha your funny, not even going to comment again you have just proven me right!!!!!

[diramonsky]

@barinit

That's right, back the fuck down xtreme boy. Did you see Kumar & Harold? LOL!

[adventurer1126]

Mi tortent Zsofival???

[straighttailpilot]

wow that was close! im glad it wasnt land!

[phantom4686]

Just as well it happened over water

[chanctonbury63]

@phantom4686 Probably drowned...

[MatthijsLindeman]

Offcouse u have to practice a fullstall. Its the only way to recover from a big cravatte.

[CusterFlux]

Ya know, the best thing in the world is to have a guy who's completely forgotten what it's like to be a newbie yelling orders at you over a megaphone: that always works.

[Craftek]

"Dont Worry"!....

Be Happy!!!

[nifartet]

Why did she not use the reserve? I hope she was not badly hurt.

[xXxMarilynLovexXx]

soo lucky he landed in water

[lovehorrordotde]

Student pilot 1. mistake: after provocated stall > much too fast release of brakes > parachute accelerated to the front > pilot fell into parachute > 2. mistake: no release of rescue.  By the way I do not think that there is a need for training of a stall, because normally a stall does not appear during a flight.

[askewstuart]

I agree lovehorrordotde, there is no need for training in such a stall, hardley ever happens in real life. so long as you can recognise when a stall occurrs, which isn't hard.

[abdyify]

is he alive

[youngplainjuan]

thats a real slow fall. haha.

[heinrich97]

Man, I hate it when you pull the reserve and cans and apples bottles and candy starts to pop out!

[KMA645]

@heinrich97 LMFAO!! ...Good one :D

[LigerZer077]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

[extazabend]

is he dead??

[chueffer]

I can't wait to get a paraglider, they look so much safer than my hang glider.

[Gozer3]

I think he heard sh*t when falling at that speed so he didn´t hear the instructions to pull the reserve chute. He maby thought the wing would inflate back...

[Melvin13287]

I can read his mind... SHIT where is my reserve can't see shit ! but i agree with a comment i would kick the instructors ass... to low... and bad instructions..

bwah... think that should be DHV 1.. so something got f-ck-d up very well

[mark675]

why didnt he pull his reserve?

the pilot seems highly unqualified to me

[OghamTheBold]

I decide to keep on flying my comfortable swivel chair - it's adjustable - I set to lowest altitude 1.4 feet - for extra safety

[persiantraveler]

@OghamTheBold

But sometimes you have to go and have some fun out in the sky. trust me its worth it if you do it safely.

[wanleydonat]

After the fall, I would shoot the instructor..

WTF????????

[dorbie]

The instructor did fine, the student screwed up. Of course we don't see the ground briefing or before the vid; no student goes up to induce a full stall without instruction to not let up on the brakes suddenly. The instructor would have reminded him before telling him to induce the stall, and has no time afterwards, he starts to say it but the student has already let up the breaks.

A full stall is a BIG DEAL in a PG, there are a lot of warnings and ground instruction before you try it.

[SeitxiS]

he is still alive ?

[chueffer]

The reason paragliders fly over the water so often is that they are so fucking dangerous.Stay alive, buy a hang glider.

[dorbie]

@ chueffer, generally paragliders do NOT fly over water, however this was a training exercise pulling extreme maneuvers called an SIV clinic. Those can lead to reserve deployments and very rarely incidents like this so they are conducted over water. Paragliders are inherently stable and safe. In this incident the pilot intentionally induced a full stall but out of fear immediately let up the breaks. This is the WORST thing to do with a stall and he did the opposite of his training.

[woayerrrr]

...sick - Too many PG accidents - Carnage - these are just the ones caught on film...

get high - stay up - hang glide - live!!

[callofduty01234]

hát nemjött össze nekki :D am perszehogy túlélte szted mé a tengerfelettvannak -.-

[rwhite2012]

lmfao what you mean dnt worry, he's tangled savage lol funniest vid

[readygo76]

open second canopy please,however compliment at teacher don't warry...don't warry .ahahaha

[clearbluemoon]

oh ´

[mikexray123]

he's fertilizer mang

[CLayaway1]

"or dont open the reserve..whatever" thats what the instructor was thinking after

[intellectualhonesty]

@CLayaway1 loool!!!

[Losigyerek]

túlélte a csaj?

[trufa12]

Ez svájci Safetty Tábor arra van hogy gyakorolják ezeket. persze hogy túlélte.

[LimpJimmy]

Mebbe try hang gliding instead — hang glider wings don't collapse in a thermal :)

[aromanro]

It was a an intentionally induced collapse. He left the commands too early, though. One should keep the commands pulled until the wing is back overhead.

[dorbie]

And then let them up gradually in at least a couple of stages; chest then full up, GRADUALLY.

[zappr5]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shivers!!~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[54spiritedwill54]

the comands from the instructor are not realy good

[varim11]

yeah was me i am alive wea a demostration :)

[alrik11es]

Que puta suerte ha tenido...

What a fucking luck...

[MICHAELJL1]

Why not this boy opened the parachute?

[jvizi]

That was a girl.

[MICHAELJL1]

Thks¡¡ poor girl¡¡

[donnyboy311]

I did the same thing and broke my back in three places and every bone from my knees down, on both sides. 6 year later and 16 surgeries I'm standing on my own two feet again and very lucky. Not sure I will ever glide again though I was a rigger so the interest is always there

[vanilasky72]

oh my god! Im really sorry for u. just dont know whatta say.r u ok after your accident? im not a pilot yet, but love paragliding and wanna make a course. but now... after watching all these scary videos... uhh..

i dont know..

wish u all the best

domi

[donnyboy311]

If you enjoy doing it, you should continue. get the best instruction as possible and always wear a reserve and a hook blade knife. I'm not a big fan of these chutes because they collapse quite easly and you have to be really high to recover from any mistakes. If it's your passion then do it, but there are several ways to play in the sky that are safer.

as for me, I'm still in recovery and very lucky to be alive, with all my bits and pieces, plus 30 screws and plates.. good luck & blue skies

[BuffaloWarrior7]

what injuries did you receive?

[donnyboy311]

from L1-S1, 3 burst fractures and compressions,bilateral multi-fractures tib/fib,heels,ankles,also tore the my right nostril about an inch (not sure how though)....have now had 4 Back surgeries and have 2 more next month....well, those are the basics....

[FlyinDreadlock]

for sure not....

[rrb634]

oh donnyboy311

hope u r feelin better nowdays... for me, i will try it .. but as a rider with some proffishonal pilot. not alone!!!!

[ale7730]

Did this guy survive?

[SSzabi]

The pilot (a girl) was not hurt. As far as I know she did not use the rescue parachute because she felt her vertical speed was not that high.

[vanschlong]

Looks like bad instruction to me, correct procedure for a full stall if im not mistaken is; bury the brakes-keep brakes down while glider falls back-when glider appears overhead, let up on brakes gradually-check the dive. At least she was training over water.

[dorbie]

That instruction is given on the ground. The instuctor could have reminded BEFORE entering teh stall but in the event has no time to tell the pilot to hold it in the stall.

[wingnutflyer]

I did almost the exsact same thing, very scary, but lievd to tell the tale, gotta keep those hands down untill the wing settles!!!

[janosparag]

Oh my God!This girl is hungarian!She survived didn't she?Plz reply

[voliamo]

bad intructor

[DG121480]

And that, ladies and germs, is a demonstration of gravity. Hope you were taking notes.

[V0YNICH]

This is why sr Isaac Newton got a apple in his head. The apple forgot the reserve shute...

[nicolas55555]

haha best line ever

[ness19dsm]

I think she is super lucky that the parachute did open up a little toward the end, and it slowed her down. otherwise she probably wouldn't have survived

[JetJockey87]

I imagine its hard to pull the reserve when panicking, seeing the ground approaching fast, and tangled in lines. Have you ever tried to put a key in a keyhole while being chased, its almost impossible, pulling the reserve and throwing it free is definitely hard.

[pogozoli]

Actually the pilot was a girl... Zsofi. And she's fine, I saw once an interview with her, after the accident. She was scared a little bit.

[HighDesertGlider]

Wait... the stall itself seemed ok to me. From the way the wing behaved, it looked like the guy IMMEDIATELY released brake pressure and the wing surged. Shouldn't he have held the stall a bit longer to ensure he was "falling" under the wing and then recover properly?

[parafly1]

nice

[putzgemeos]

this man death ?

[josephdart]

brilliant

[johno040176]

i think the instr was getting the guy to slow down to minimum speed before stalling.. if you ever have stalled the wing from full speed .. its pretty violent - so its good to lean forward and slow right down for the first time.. The glider never really went negative either - slight assymetrical release but that was it - basically the guy released at the wrong moment and that was that. I think it is safer to release to backfly first then release fully.

[Paste123123]

the instructor was wery amater , he sayd pull more pull more pull more ...

the right way was 1 time to pull not 4-5 cuz the speed will go down in minimum thats why he fall down.

[dorbie]

That was intentional and correct. he objective was to induce a full stall. The student responded badly to the stall and counter to training, which is why it is practiced over water.

[pleasetrythisathome]

Lack of adequate instruction.  Don't stop yelling reserve until the student throws it. Maybe radio was dead or instructor braindead.

[renatoassism3]

too easy..

[gumicu]

uff... hat igen, ez gyakori :S de ugye nem lett semmi baja a Zsófinak? :o

[Kinthesky1]

Full stall recovery exercise I suspect. Watch out for that surge. By the time he realized he should have applied some brake he had gone negative and was into his wing. Should have gone for his laundry but who knows what happened to him when he went through his lines. He might not have been able to. Just be glad he did it over water.

[Thomasj1949]

Ouch!

[Kinthesky1]

Fell into his wing? Bad move! He hit the water quite hard. No sign he went for the laundry that I could tell. He okay?

[iverstehnix]

the comands from the instructor are not realy good

[iverstehnix]

it looks horrible...
