Both survived. The one who didn't throw his reserve thought that he was coming down at an acceptable descent rate, so he needn't chuck it. Crazy -- it could have quickly got a lot worse. But he got away with it.
Could any Korean speaker please traslate the key points of this video? Why did not the first guy deploy the reserve parachute, even if he was plenty of time to do it? Thanks
You Musn't forget that the pilots competing in this championship are not your average paragliders. To perform well in a ranking competition you've got to push yourself and your glider to their limits. Don't let these extreme's (because that is what this foutage shows you) hold you from expieriencing the wonderfull "World of Paragliding"
i take it paragliding is as dangerous as one wants it to make, you can go for a calm ridge sea cliff flight and just land on a beach or top land, or you can test your luck in dense vegetation and different mountainous terrain air, also competitions are generally intense and people are more brazen, and push gliders to their limits as they chase the thermals
paragliding is really incredible sport and chance that something like this happens to you is one in a million..always that somebody asks me how dangerous paragliding is,i tell him/her that it's more dangerous to take your car for a spin
Just try it, Dont die just wondering.. we're only here once. Training will be really gradual.. 2 or 3 meters abouv ground, This footage looks like adverse weather conditions.
Hope he was OK. I'm guessing that he was knocked out and couldn't throw silk. Despite the comments of one of the English speakers here; all paragliding pilots are brothers irrespective of race or nation.
Looks like a air colission ... saw that already one time (if youre cratch the wing with your feeds by collition. maybe he was insensible ... hope everyone is fine.
Say what you like about this, but tht dude on the reserve he didnt look safe either, and what i read they dont use a backup (reserve) thatis not very smart is itif you wanna do it more than 1 time.
If they/he didnt pull their reserve its either because they could'nt ie line wrapped around them which could be made worse by another chute. Or felt it might make the situation worse ie lines around neck I doubt VERY much anybody or event organiser would be f**king stupid enough to not fly with a reserve in a comp no matter what country they are in or from. Hope everyone was OK. Most comp accidents are either turbulance or mid air collisions.. Its not funny and its not clever . Fly safe
@persiantraveler I'm sorry that two people died. But I didn't talk about them. I talked about the security level of China and Korea. You don't get it.
They were both okay btw. They weren't hurt.

Middle air collision, a paraglider can't break in this way, even in extreme conditions (that's not the case).
The one without reserve seem to descend slow enough and fall on a trees area, it might survived.
Guess at the end there are the both pilots telling their point of view about the accident.

Well, if you avoid flying too close to other pilots, you could at least pass on this particular sort of accident :)
