Paramotor Accident - Lesson Learned

[kagenh]

haha this is funny! Glad that everyone is ok! that makes this video good especially the sense of humor

[deltafour1212]

Sheesh........Where do I sign up?!

[mattwho1980]

Next time stay up longer after a bad launch so you have time to calm down and compose a good mindset before landing.

[uni000ver000sal]

Are you guys speaking english?

[drbackjack]

@mongrelmob100

Easy. He landed in a hedge.

[thecartel69]

Yup, landing can be more difficult than take off

[coopmuch56]

Whats is safer hang gliding, paragliding or powered paragliding ?

[celsocorbelia]

Faltou piloto ou motor Piloto ruim e motor fraco

[sinekonata]

do I need a licence to fly that?

[kopernikowski]

No,You do no need a license in UK to do that.

[specinthesky]

Didn't know the  chuckle brothers do paramotoring

[flyfastnhigh13]

Keep flying, keep walking and keep you humor, improve your flying though, if not it will kill you!

[mrmonstercat1]

I am glad you walked away from that one man. Keep it going.

[nerblebun]

The only fence within 10 miles....and the poor guy hits it. Glad he's ok.

[bfgray]

No respect for the dudes who built or paid for the fence.

[simusfr]

You could also have crashed while taking off. You leaned forward which is very unefficient, and you used too much braking !

[twostrokechris]

havnt watched this for a while ,no disrespect but it makes me smile ,thanks for sharing kev keep the faith ,ps i have spoke to you im robs mate,take care happy landings.

[sisterskelly]

your my hero

[celsocorbelia]

O Cara tinha tudo so faltou motor potencia zero ai não tem jeito mesmo

[frecklehero]

I bet that hurt!!!! LOL

[alexalvesjr]

you guys are funny!!!!!

[onekoolmuthafucka]

He got Hedged what a numpty!

[poweredparagliding]

Man some of you are real semi-experts. NOT!

This guy had the balls to post his video, shit simply happens!

[SimGameIt]

@poweredparagliding Your right on. Im a fixed wing ultralight pilot. While this video is funny since he didnt get hurt it may also save someones life. And i have a big respect for him posting it. Keep it in the air man and i appreciate your honesty in this guys defense.

[5hundie]

I can't believe people would try this without knowing how to control the wing. I am thinking about getting into this and if I do I am going to take an 8 day training course from a world record holder.

[TheNovaAxon]

@5hundie

And when you present your first flight on YouTube, we will slap you around your ears like U do.

[5hundie]

@TheNovaAxon I wasn't trying to bash the guy, it just seemed like a crash that could have easily been avoided. I really have no clue what I am talking about because I have never flown one. I should keep my mouth shut until I learn whats up. It was not my intent to be offensive.

[pb6095]

This looks familiar, I did something similar myself, though not quite as dramatic. Ended up in a hedge on landing... A useful experience to help one appreciate the value of being able to spot-land. Good to see you retained your sense of humour!

[RobbyWorld1]

Nice try mate. You'll clear the hedge next go around.

[paramotortimes]

Funny video.

[Likano2]

Oh, the para glider seems to control the pilots way though he might be experienced. Flying near the ground is risky and the wings might fail. Solid wings are a part of a pilots life assurance.

[PPGPPC]

this is a 5 star classic! it would be fun to travel overseas and fly with you gentlemen... they really know how to do it, and have fun across the pond..

[galegregory97comcast]

did you put on your green condom??LOL be for or after i did see LOL . no I hope your ok

[anonimato1987]

ouch!

[jeffparkerinsb]

how did that feel when they pulled that thorn out of his arse?

[RCEbooks]

HAHAHA! Made me think of Fred Flintstone and his fat feets running there! Grab a pint & some pussy, mate... you've EARNED it!

[SensiBleu]

an expensive hedge trimmer

[Tonivelerolongyang]

Dejalo, no vueles mas. Te vas a matar amigo. jajajaja....loko

[SensiBleu]

everybody gotta learn their own way :)

i bet he looks for obstacles more diligently now

[Vortigon]

This is what happens when idiots and paragliders meet.

Obviously has never trained properly, and obvisouly has never learned to fly first 'without' the motor.

People like this ruin the sports reputation, luckily nature has a way of clearing out idiots from this sport rather quickly.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

man that is a funny aircraft!!

engine but legs for undercarriage, hysterical!!

[Chrzaszczu1]

fly on the window...

[joejumps4fun]

no offense but that was a horrible take-off and it isn't that hard to avoid obstacles. oh well, learn and live

[ctquicksilver]

You need a little bit more power....You couldnt clear any obstacle with that much thrust...Then again skill will make up for power is some situations....Obviously not this one!

[raaqi]

that's why you shoudl probably start without the motor first. back to basics and then once you know how to contorl the shit you can add the motor

[artimax01]

Good think it wasn't a fence or a wall!:-)

[nunnster06]

you really do not have a clue what your doing

[chueffer]

The purpose of the engine on a parramotor is to get the parraglider to the scene of the crash quicker.

[pete2778]

Good humour in the face of adversity, Greasley! 5*. lol.

[chapo6n]

hahahahahahaha putaze  wey hahahahaha divertido very funy

[raveydv]

Very funny, now I know for sure I never want to do this!

[modelplanepiano]

I think the pilot should plan his fly trace,especially land road and land spot,not land random

[nipponhouseplayer]

yOU GUYS ARE TOP dOGS VERY LUCKY PILOTS

[j25ack]

Got to love the way he accelerates just before impact and hits over a meter below the top of the wall indicating he had no chance to clear it

[erikpmort]

power is your friend. so is a bigger landing zone

[rumbletummy1963]

Greevsy, Indeed lesson learned, could've been tragic and not funny as hell. Good to see you weren't hurt. I've had a lot worse and not got hurt including stalls down Isle of Wight Cliffs into cow fields full of shite and cross wind landings whilst self taught. Ah the laughs.....not! Reckon I was lucky and glad you are too! No old, bold pilots etc.

Best regards, Steve (Mad Cow) Cowham.

[DEANMARITA]

If you turn up the sound real high, you can hear this dude fart and shit himself as he hits the wall.

[DEANMARITA]

Wall = 1

Pilot = 0

Fuck, this is funny!

[russbug1]

Eeee bye gum ecky thump

[loki1066]

Do ppg'ers have a backup chute?

[Bamoman]

yes the pack on his tummy is a reserve, BUT only about 20 percent of PPGers fly with one

[meggark]

In my experience the vast majority of folk seem to carry one, FLPHG guys as well. Only met one or two who didn't. Maybe things are different outside of the UK.

[treedefender]

The Chuckle Brothers go Paramotoring

[marczakflys]

Wow that was interesting!

[iainhull]

haha legend

[ultraflight4471]

Damn it! those bloody invisible hedges jumped in me bloody way again!

[mandrewsvideos]

Thanks for sharing. Very funny!

[sourmanofcoal]

ok now, translate it all in english ?..

[alistairPARAMOTOR]

that was so funny im in tears, nice one, lifes for livin!

[ValkingParaWinger]

I laughed too. Been there done that. I love the "decided to cut my losses today..." comment. He who crashes & runs away lives to fly another day. Nice to see the gear looked as good as the pilot after the encounter. Fly Safe, Fly Again.

[Maecky]

Sorry but this made me laugh. Hope was the last accident. Have fun man.

[kicksey]

A classic! Thanks for sharing it. Can I ask: Was that a reserve on your lap or an airbag? LOL

[banjerbob1]

Altitude and attitude can go a long way in this sport. At least you had one of them in this video

Bob

[BatteryIncluded]

When shit hits the fan, you need either altitude or speed. Flying low'n slow may look cool but is not healthy.

Blue skies!

[ndolazambia]

Ouch...Thanx 4 sharing.

[ultralightflyer2002]

how funny,,,wonder what his preflight was?? Empty the flask. LOL

[midrix]

That s a good point ;)

[midrix]

Another smart guy ... Whay is wrong with these people who want to fly so low??? Paraglide is no football: you need to go to flying SCHOOL or you'll get SERIOUSLY hurt soon or later.

[GWfreakj]

@midrix The best way to learn things cheap is to learn it from other peoples mistakes;) Paraglide is indeed no football. You gotta have a plan B in mind. But going to a SCHOOL means nothing. I learnd like everything from selfstudy. With sum tips from my dad in beginning. Never had an accident yet and im not planning to have 1;) Never do things where you aren't rdy for. And keep ya mind with the flying ofc.

[bigparamotor]

Yes you do know me its bigparamotor its Adam i have got a key for the gate for you

[Rystenthelion]

Ouch..

[Adie401]

only just cleared first hedge,lol,hedge to high because someone told Dave how to keep blades sharp,by not using them Ha Ha Ha Ha
