[jbseitz]

This is one of the most THRILLING paragliding videos I have ever seen! YES!

[flightart]

As funny as it is, I find it a shear stupidity not to cancel the flight.

If a passenger is not willing to fly, than we shouldn't !!

Wounder what the judge would say if she would have suffered an herat attack.

[MartinettiUS]

I wonder how dangerous is too fly with only one hand?

[MartinettiUS]

Unreal!!!!!!

[tontar]

This has got to be one of the funniest videos in a LONG time. I wish I could see the landing. There are several questions that arise naturally after seeing the screaming, but I won't ask them in public!

[ratfinkster1]

@ratfinkster1

Try again!! :)

[flypara1]

Thx for publishing this video. Thx Linda for the wonderful screaming.

You're a interantional superstar Linda! You make us all laughing.

Shannon, that makes me remember of my diving instr. time. Well, my 'passengers' couldn't scream :-)))

[ratfinkster1]

@flypara1

It came from the heart!!

[ratfinkster1]

@LadyArcus

It's nice to meet you too:)

[sylvek78]

I love It !!! lol

[philflieger]

Omg! I hope paragliding never scares me like that - or I'd have to give up this great hobby.

[rniella]

Very weird people... I would never take into a flight to such a freaked out person, she could not even follow instructions on the ground ! you never know how she can react on the air. Tandem pilots should take into consideration this, I know paragliding people, generally dont care... very far from aeronautic´s behavior. This "pilot" is very dangerous.

[MrJytouzac]

Seems Tiger Mountain, fine take off near Issaquah ? The pilot made 2 wings just after the take off, perhaps it is too much for the passenger, instead prepared her for the flight. but it is funny.

[ParapenteSamoens]

It's not funny !

Horrible tandem fly for this poor passagere. This pilote have no attention to her, he just have interest to is camera !

[ratfinkster1]

@ParapenteSamoens

Not true!! I knew what i was doing, although uncomfortable with the camera pole, ( i had enough to focus on) after the jump?? i had the time of my life!! and as far as the pilote man?? i must say?? "He did a great job"!! No one!! who knows me, has heard me scream like that!! Many people laughed, and i'm glad!!:) I'm more then happy to take one for the team,,, "Team Seattle"!! :) Team, Seattle Para Gliding!! ~~~~~~ :)

Linda:)

[ratfinkster1]

@ratfinkster1

I was just fine dear!!:) No worry, about me!!:)

We are fortunate and honored to have him as our #1 instructor on our Seattle Paragliding Tandem Team. With high regard, I call him friend. - Marc Chirico

[ParapenteSamoens]

It's not funny !

It's just an horrible way to do a tandem fly.

[awayandgone]

Perfectly normal reaction! She INSTINCTIVELY KNOWS how dangerous paragliding really is. A wing that it is not really a wing, but an inflatable aircushion!

Real pilots DO NOT FLY THIS SHITE! Good luck.

[ratfinkster1]

@awayandgone

Dangerous?????????? :{

[awayandgone]

@ratfinkster1

Naaaa! Good Luck

... you will need it!

[ozonemantra]

@awayandgone ..Life itself is dangerous! never heard about an crash with an fixed wing??? I have more then 700 hours in this "inflatable aircushion" the last 14 years and not a tiny scratch...If I were to die in a paragliding accident...so what !!!

I`d rather die with style than of perish in a hospital 90 years old ....sick and full of shit!

[tyesimpson]

Classic ... glad to read she had fun 'cause she looks and sounds frightened to death. Fine launch, if a little cross, and I'm sure the hard turn added to the excitement, but well executed. Kudos to the calm manner of the pilot ... many would have been annoyed or worse at the "I'm gonna die" type-yelling and screaming. LOL.

[ratfinkster1]

@tyesimpson

When we were heading towards the side of the mountain, first off, that was what my brain was telling me!! LOL!! "We're gonna die"!! on my 13th year wedding anniversary!! "GREAT"!! LOL!! : /

[jimrooney]

Ratfinster... you are one hell of a lady :)

I love expressive passengers. For us it's a normal day, for you it's a huge step! I scream my head off when I do things that are scary for me. I'm so glad you were able to enjoy such a thrilling experience that few will ever get to see for themselves.

[ratfinkster1]

@jimrooney

This is a very sweet post!! Yes, i am "very" expressive!! on a amusing level most of the time. When i'm not scared out of my mind? i like to make people laugh. I love to laugh. Screaming? not so much. I will not do this again............. ;)

[jacoherbst]

I have watched thousands of paragliding tandem launches. Lady, you were the loudest and scariest passenger I have ever witnessed. Not your fault and not meaning to be rude. I'm just stating a fact! The poor instructor!

[ratfinkster1]

@jacoherbst

It was my first time, and i'm told my instructor was wanting this reaction, which is why we turned in towards the hill side, it looked like we were going to slam into the hill side!! He knew this would scare the hell out of me, and it did. Everyone was laughing after we touched ground as this video was shown to all, and high fives were given to my instructor ;)

[ratfinkster1]

@ratfinkster1

I did "NOT" want to hold the camera, and told them this. I figured it was too much to handle for the very first time. I was handed the camera any, as they spotted that i was very "vibrant" if i remember correctly, LOL!! They knew they had a live wire!! the first time they mey me ;) and i'm sure they figured it would make a funny video. If it's too loud? turn the volume down:)

[ratfinkster1]

I'm going towards the lake!!

[ratfinkster1]

@ratfinkster1

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! LOL!! :)

Keep on flying

[ratfinkster1]

@alfredo0474

Psycobable?? LOL!! I suggest you try this, and see how well your vocabulary is as you jump off the side of a mountain :) You can't see the Paraglider behind you, so your brain thinks your jumping off the side of a mountain. It must be a instinct from our cave man day's, but something screams in your head, "YOU CAN"T FLY STUPID"!! LOL!! and your body and brain do everything it can to stop you. I must have a strong will to live!! LOL!!

Linda :)

[ratfinkster1]

@ratfinkster1

The sensation you feel is like being on the biggest roller coaster ride in the world!! going down the hills and around the corners. The butterflies you feel in your stomach?? you feel from the moment you lift off the ground!!

That was one of the funniest videos I have ever seen come from Tiger. I am in tears right now...

[TonyaSolaris]

Good job Linda! Sometimes we have to overcome our fears ;)

I am very impressed with the tandem pilot's skills and professionalism (Shannon?) to deal with *screaming* ladies!

[ratfinkster1]

@TonyaSolaris Dear Tonya, Shannon was wonderful!! i just hope he didn't lose his hearing, LOL!! I lost my voice for three days after this adventure. LOL

[spacevampire]

That was awesome.

[ratfinkster1]

Ya notice?? my instructor is smiling from ear to ear right after the launch?? Yea,,,, now i know why they gave me the camera!! LOL

[ratfinkster1]

This makes me laugh, everytime i view it!! LOL!!

Your fellow Eagle

Linda Lewis ;)

[ajabluom]

Great piloting, Shannon. I'm impressed how you kept so cool and collected with all that screaming going on.

[spinomattic]

Absolutely hysterical-- literally and figuratively. I was standing behind them next in line to launch with a passenger of my own. I've never heard such a loud human being... five minutes later they were half a mile out and a thousand over and we could still hear her.

[ratfinkster1]

@spinomattic I went off right after my wife so you must be my pilot?? pat...

[ratfinkster1]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[Drtomm]

your pilot looks like Elton John...your scream sounds like Freddy Kreuger's victims...

[Drtomm]

What a show from a real Yakima HOG...

[ratfinkster1]

@Drtomm LOL!! a real "Lady of Harley" with a voice to match!! LOL!!
