  • Very good documentation of this danger

  • the pilot who was ready for a launch at the last video must have needed to change his pants

  • geniales info video - gratuliere! schöne grüße aus vorarlberg

  • A lot of that looks like Chelan Washington. Only flew there one long weekend. Had one good day and there were a lot of huge dusties on it. One looked like a tornado at the base. Locals said the winds can get to 70mph at the base. Can't say but they were spooky. Real friendly community though.

  • man that is mental! Glad we dont get them over here in the UK!

  • Mas peeper es grande an so es dust deveel

  • is it more dangerous than a tornado

  • @iwasnt76 dust devils don't destroy cities like tornados soooo no.

  • a dust devil is the scariest and most dangerous situation a paraglider or hang glider can be faced with. those who dont paraglide or hang glide would not under stand

  • Why whouldnt anybody who doesnt para or hanglide understand?

    To me the video is making it quite clear.

  • @stermi10 simple physics man.we do understand!

  • Added to the "Oh Sh*t" Collection on the Adrenaline Addicted Channel!

  • hireing hacker

  • I think it's pretty stupid to throw yourself and your contraption into the face of a dust devil.

    "Whoa, cool, man," if you escape. Paraplegic if not.

  • You'd think those things were alive and were like, "Cool! More of those hangliding things we can throw up in the air and watch!"

  • Fantastik Video

  • awesome!

  • Can anyone translate the narration into English for me? It sounds instructive to a novice hang glider pilot, and I would like to hear what he has to say.

    Thanks.

  • ouch

  • for christs' sake, dust devils are the coolest thing in the history of things.

  • It depends on where you are while it comes. If You are standing with Your paraglider prepared for takeoff then it's far from "the coolest thing".

  • Wanna bet that the paraglider pilot sucked aloft at 2:05 needed to change his shorts after landing that near miss? Ohhh boy!

  • thats pretty intense!

  • The paraglider guys pretty much saved their own lives by controlling the descent after getting sucked up in the air.

  • sometimes you just get the "devil" and no dust to warn you not to fly near it, dangerous stuff.

  • The man with the walkie-talkie doesn't seem very impressed...

  • Awesome!

  • Nuts. Not the best way to go. There is a good reason to learn your launch site real well. Not much can be done against a nature monster like that.

  • so how can we produce them and harness their power?

    mirror??

  • man that is mental! Glad we dont get them over here in the UK!

  • I am in absolutely no hurry to fly the big air east of the mountains. I bow down to the masters, and to the crazy bold few.

  • flaco quiero los derechos de autorr....

  • This is filmed near Chelan Washington USA

  • The background music sounds like porno movie music. Yuck

  • I have see one dust devil in Finland.

  • Woah the one looked like a F5 Dust devil... if they were catagorized in the fuig... fihg...

  • The Fujita scale has NOTHING TO DO WITH SPEED AND SIZE.

  • If they wer IT'S CALLED SARCASM

  • Looked like an F5 was kind of assuming that the F scale is judged by its size but really its scaled on how much damage it causes.

  • True

  • :) but i will admit it was cool :P

  • 2 bad 4 u

  • wou O.O

  • Maravilloso fenómeno meteorológico! son preciosas esas tolvaneras o demonios de polvo que fuerza tienen algunas joer,yo en verano en el campo cuando no hace viento me meto dentro de ellas para fotografiarlas y filmarlas pero nunca me salen bien los vídeos me pongo demasiado nervioso y me tiran jeje,a ver este verano que tal la caza del dust devil jijiji.

    Buen vídeo informativo su señor!

    Saludos.

  • I've always wondered... fly an r/c plane equipped with a video camera into one...

  • Good idea.

    You could try strapping your mobile phone - camera phone into one, and start it recording after launch lol.

  • Teaches you to respect the air we fly in.

  • we are not immune the nature, we have that to respect the mother nature!

  • Amazing video!

  • Danke für das informative Vdeo,denke es ist fachlich ok.
