I see the chart on General Aviation at the bottom. General Aviation airplanes have a bad safety record because of pilots treating the little planes like cars...in other words, they are airplane drivers and not pilots.
If you keep proficient and current and follow your training, flying a General Aviation airplane is 10 times safer than a car.
The description for this video says that hang gliding is dangerous. But surely they mean that it ISN'T dangerous ................................ right?
That looks brilliant! I do microlighting from time to time, and I've always wondered what this would be like. I'm sure without an engine for the first few minutes I might feel a bit uncomfortable when up there, but this really does look fantastic.
Ohh this is so beautiful. I am very interested on becoming a hand glider. I live in europ(iceland). Is there a scpecial school that you have to finish for this stuff?
Just curiosity, isn´t it cold up there in T-shirt??
i glad and i ran off a cliff 75ft off ground i fell no 75ft down just 12 ft when i was landing i fell on water and everybody was like ?!?!? lol but im better its awsome
@Nurr0 I'm a student and I fly hangliders, gliders and paragliders... so it's possible, you just have to spend your money and time(!!!) for the right things and not for booze and nightclubs on weekends ;-)
wow, i saw that old tv and LAUGHED SOOO hard hahahah

would be funner if it got to the ground quicker....it stays way too long in the air it kinda gets boring after all that time up there.

I want to do that so badly with a powered hang glider. There are no hills here in New Orleans. ...one day...

why we still using cars ?

@Q8yGodfather
Because cars are not as weather dependent as aviation and thus more reliable. Aviation is more efficient while road is more reliable.

Oh yes, the higher you fly it can be fuckin cold up there. Especially in iceland, i think ;-)
Yes you have to get a licence everywhere in europe i think. IF you get busted flying without, in germany you have to pay 20 Bugs *lool*
But keep in mind that training in a school is for your own safety!
