@MrDarinWarren Actually you are the idiot people that need to relax and live a bit. Accidents can happen with anything. That includes driving your car. How many people die from car accidents every year? Now compare that number to the people who die a year from this sport.
Yes, unfortunately that was a stupid accident. He was called for fun, but it overlooked the terms of your concentration. Sun is high, a lot of wind and thermal conditions and thus turbolend. I guess that the screen also older and at least 2 .2-3 was so very demanding.
As a paraglider and a hangglider pilot I believe that nothing is more dangerous than taking off or landing without your hands on the controls... And paragliding carries the added complication of unexpected collapses...
Taking risks in a potentially dangerous sport = Agreeing with possible death. Sounds harsh, I feel sorry for the poor bloke, and for his loved ones, but some safety issues were forgotten here.
I believe he was fooling around and it went very wrong, even a experiended pilot needs to be reminded that he is never too good, and of course I could be wrong but the guy seemed like he planned it.
I guess that he was an experienced pilot, the problem by this pilot was maybe his routine, and even his too much self confidence. This made him probably careless. Normally you don`t do such things like he did, when the wind by takeoff is not optimal, or if you have just wind from thermal activity along the launch place. You could clearly see that he didn`t had a changes to stabilize his glider, this collapse would have been a harmless one, if he had kept the control-handle in his hand.
ale tępy chuj ... nie dosc ze start na niedojeba to jeszcze kurwa nie wiem po jaki chuj zaciągnął lewą sterówe na maxa jak go w lewo wyjebało .. pacjent jak chuj
Hey all my fellow PG pilots: we've got to stop posting all these thousands of videos of PG's collapsing and crashing. We all know how safe the sport is and how every crash was really pilot error and had nothing to do with the inherent turbulence instability of our wings. But the uninitiated public doesn't realize how safe the sport is and may start to believe that it's really dangerous. We, of course, know better.
@wayne11122000 how about launch and landing? Kinetic Energy has velocity SQUARED in the equation doesn't it- who has to fly faster to take off and who comes in harder? And how about a hang glider going into tumbling after a stall? How about towing behind an ultralight and taking off of a cart? All these seem just as dangerous as wing collapses. Even if You jump out with accident statistics it won't give us a full picture. All flying is dangerous- especially if stupidity (like here) is practiced.
@SiemaZiomek Taken into consideration you ARE a COMPETENT pilot, and you fly with with some semblance of a brain; I repeat, Hang Gliding is a safer sport due to the solid airframe, period. No matter how experienced you are, collapses can, and do happen to paragliders. Flying in rotor turbulance is an almost guaranteed collapse flying a paraglider, whereas, with a hang glider, you can fly through rotor with no fear of collapse.
@wayne11122000 Hmm... well if were talking about pilot competence- a basic rule taught in training to new PG states: DO NOT FLY IN ROTOR AIR induced by obstacles upwind (its then taught again in the second stage of training, how to plan a flight according to wind direction).
So I still say that hang gliding has its own demons- especially due to much higher velocity at take off and landing. Thats where most accidents happen and a Hang Glider can hit the ground faster and harder.
@miraclepieco "Hey all my fellow PG pilots: we've got to stop posting all these thousands of videos of PG's collapsing and crashing. ....the uninitiated public doesn't realize how safe the sport is"
Actually, it's better that people are informed of the dangers so they can make an 'educated' decision. If it can kill you, and it can, it's not "safe".
@mooseoftoose RE: "@MrDarinWarren Do you consider a car safe when it has a 5 star safety rating?
mooseoftoose 4 hours ago"
Um, I suppose I'd consider it safer than a car with less than 5 stars. But safe? Not sure anything is SAFE. But, I'd rather crash a 5 start rated car than a hanglider. :)
@miraclepieco I understand why you have written what you have. I am a commercial pilot and do this sport as my relaxation. What i see is the same as i see in things like air crash investigation. Basically what i mean is. I know my job is safe. But A C I shows what happens on bad flights, accidents etc. I learn from the tradgedies. In otherwords. These crash videos despite showing a slight horror. Do show what not to do if you **** up or something goes wrong. So anyway. I hope you understand
@miraclepieco dude, do you even fly paragliders? Or are you just being sarcastic? People who don't know paragliding don't think it's dangerous - they think it's as save as a parachute. People who actually fly paragliders know about the extreme danger of getting blown out and the huge issue of collapses - just because the pilot in this video made a mistake doesn't mean that there aren't tons of collapses experienced by carefull pilots because of unpredictable rough air (not talking thermals)
@HerbalMart, I have limited PG experience, but here goes:
The pilot had some difficulty with the wing inflating correctly, but appears to have it under control before taking off. Unfortunately, we can't see the pilot as he takes off, but it appears he immediately does a trick stunt of flying upside down - something I've never seen before.
To get upside down like that would require deliberate effort from the pilot, so I'm calling this 100% pilot error.
Blah blah blah.All you overly delicate bleeding hearts grow a pair.Theoreticly,ANY video of a person is that of a person dying.Some just happen a bit more rapidly than others.We're all dying right now.
@scottdavene - he most likely flew out the back of a thermal with no pilot input. I don't see how that could be rotor. Looks like a new glider to him. Brilliant XC pilot and a good generous, self-reliant bloke.
@SiteInvestigator the beaty of mankind is that we can do things that nature didnt provide us with the means to. the trick is to know the risks and keep them to a minimum. if you still disagree, then be consequent and keep yourself to your own philosophy. that means you should stop using internet, right now.

This happened in Brazil, Minas Gerais state. Translation (pt/en) from tv news:
"The death of a pilot cancelled today the Governador Valladares' Paraglider Championship. Carlos Farias, 52 years old and more than 15 years experienced in this sport tried a dangerous maneuvre upside down. He lost control and has fallen from 50 m high. Championship organizes gave first aid until medicals units came. Pilot was rescued and taken to hospital but couldnt resist to wounds. "
i am researching this for a birthday treat for myself but keep coming across death and crash vids !! anyone knows where i can hire four square miles of crash mats ? .we can watch his death but if he flew bollock naked we couldn't how mad is censorship?.
To all of the people saying he's stupid for not holding with his hands, well you can't see whether he intentionally took off or whether he was dragged straight off his feet by the wind. It is hugely insulting to call someone stupid when they have died, particularly if it's judgemental and you don't know all that happened.
any one that does shit like this isn't a responsible pilot. You need to enjoy focus and land safely. Don't see it as something.....easy that you can do
I was looking at it over and over again. He does'nt hold in any lines when he takes of, hmm looks kinda stupid to me. it's like riding a bike without holding the handles. I mean if he did he would'nt fall over i think and be alive now....
I literally don't get it.. you can tell before he takes off (from the fluttering ends of the canopy) that there is turbulence- yet he still pulls a dumb one.. crazy
that really wasnt a stunt, nonetheless the safety envelope is extremely small with paragliders but you are either an instructor or you sell paragliders
@SeanFidler Don't watch it then. Not sure that people like you who believe in censorship should be on youtube. People die everyday in a myriad of ways on this planet and it seem so forbidden and macabre to have a curiosity about it. Well face it buddy were all gonna die one day. BTW It's a sobering reminder to those of us who fly or indulge in other "dangerous" activities to be absolutely aware of our risks and that our demise can be just around the corner. So take your disgust elsewhere.
@ismasamov55 Exactly. all these bleeding hearts disgust me. Try moving to North Korea people. You won't see anything on the internet. Maybe then you'll be happy and quit your whining
@commandro that really wasnt a stunt, nonetheless the safety envelope is extremely small with paragliders but you are either an instructor or you sell paragliders
@eb352mm where did you get this information? the truth is, i dont know whether it was intentional or not, but i have seen people do this just meters off the ground. (its even on youtube) i dont know how stupid you have to be to get this brave. i immediately thought of this video and how helpfull it would be for these people to see it.
@commandro That doesn't answer my question. The fact that a reserve can be deployed at higher altitude does not make this stunts any safer. That's like saying that having an air bag in your car makes you less prone to accidents. That's bullshit. It may help you survive it if it happens, but has nothing to do with it happening in the first place.
Judging by your comment I assume you dont know much about paragliding. You are comparing a car crash to collapse. This is does not damage the glider and can be restored or even usually restores by itself without much input from the pilot, the recovery speed depends on the skill of the pilot and the wing classification. You will only lose some altitude, no damage, no injury. You only need some space to recover.
Infact, to acquire your license to fly, you need to show that you can handle different types of collapses, by inducing them voluntary. At safe altitude ofcourse. Should you fail, you can always throw a reserve.
The only wrong thing is about what he did is something you will have to learn at the first day: never let go of the brakes. It wouldnt have changed the outcome thou, since he already ignored the rule I described earlier.
Sadly, its not uncommon for experienced pilots to ignore basic safety rules, in some kind of distorted belief that safety precautions is something for rookies and homosexuals.
@commandro I've probably been paragliding longer than you've been alive, but that's not the point. The point is doing unnecessarily dangerous "stunts" is asking for trouble. Yes, a collapse can be recovered from as can a car that you loose control of. Both could occur when you're doing something stupid. You don't do stunts 100 ft from the ground, just like you don't drive with your feet at 300km/h. Both situations are a recipe for disaster. A reserve or airbag doesn't reduce the risk.
If you really have been paragliding since I was born, you have now reached an age where it is very understandable you are no longer willing to perform risky maneuvers.
What I still dont get is why are you hammering to me about the dangers of low level bravery. I have never encouraged such behavior. Dementia? ;)
Através desse video, podemos constatar como o parapente é extremamente seguro e livre de qualquer tipo de perigo. O parapente representa o meio de transporte mais seguro que o homem já inventou. É o único, repito, o único tipo de vôo em que quando você sai do chão tem certeza que voltará para o chão intacto, tranquilo e com toda segurança. Aliás eu não consigo entender porque usa-se para-quedas reserva voando-se em algo que tem risco zero de acidentes.
I thought he was doing it for fun...but I think it was accidental he got his foot stuck and it took down his air and he fell... he must have hit his neck and died...that is really sad.
leva a mal naum.....essa é a típica diversão de maluco!....o cara sai voando de cabeça pra baixo, dando gargalhada, num troço perigosa pra kcete, me leva um golpe de judô da parada, despenca igual um saco de cimento no chão e ainda tem troxa que acha lindo voar nessa bosta!....pqp...o pior é que o cara ainda traz tristeza pra família...tudo por causa de uma merda de um parapente do inferno.
Algo que todos los pilotos hemos hecho alguna vez, esto mismo en condiciones de ladera no termales se ha hecho como diversión mil veces. Creo que evaluó mal la condición.QEPD.
avec les commandes dans les mains on reste en vie c'est comme le volant d'une voiture!!! chaccun fait comme il veut mais aprés il ne faut pas dire que c'est dangereux comme sport!!
First, paragliding is not exactly the safest thing to be doing on the weekend. Second, you increase your odds of getting hurt or killed by showboating! Its is very obvious he purposely took off in a upside down position and was laughing with his arms out. Then he flipped back over and that was that. It’s a dangerous sport when you add the two combinations together

Sorry, but the glider was launched with little stability, the guy was showing off on a fairly advanced wing and doing it with other gliders in the same airspace .
As a paraglider and instructor am always sorry to see anyone get hurt. But I am so glad it was only that soft lad and nobody else. Darwin got it right. Natural selection.
It was shown on TV, ok, but I think, it's not allright, to show death-accidents in TV or Internet. It is a personal tragedy and noone should see somebody dying, also not with the reason, you can learn something. Always imagine, it could be your brother, Dad etc. Terrible, poor man, I feel very sad about it.
@area28 look, you dont see his brains splattered all over. this video is not graphic and holds high educational value how even the most experienced and skillfull pilots can get killed. even if he didnt do this on purpose, im sure there are pilots who do. this video serves as a warning to why you should take this sport seriously.
This guy was messing around - if you watch closely, his feet were in the controls upon initial launch. He then attempted to flip upside down on purpose and was attempting trying to grab the controls. He lost his wind and didn't catch the left brake. Pretty dumb stunt that cost him his life.
If you are going to do such a risky activity you gotta expect someones going to get it wrong, with this there's seldom a second chance. You are launching an unstable ram air wing into uplift , rotors, unstable clifftop air currents people who do this need their heads examined IMO and It's hardly a surprise or shock when they die .
@mirtaet123 Jesus, if you are going to make fun of other people, at least get your grammar right! And I think you mean die, not dye. And if fools die doing what they love, then I'd love to be a fool.

any one that does shit like this isn't a responsible pilot. You need to enjoy focus and land safely. Don't see it as something.....easy that you can do

I was looking at it over and over again. He does'nt hold in any lines when he takes of, hmm looks kinda stupid to me. it's like riding a bike without holding the handles. I mean if he did he would'nt fall over i think and be alive now....

How does he manage to do this?
I don't think anyone can be that stupid to try it as a stunt. Can you actually fall over like that, i know he did but must be really hard
I'm new to this, might try paragliding...

@SeanFidler Don't watch it then. Not sure that people like you who believe in censorship should be on youtube. People die everyday in a myriad of ways on this planet and it seem so forbidden and macabre to have a curiosity about it. Well face it buddy were all gonna die one day. BTW It's a sobering reminder to those of us who fly or indulge in other "dangerous" activities to be absolutely aware of our risks and that our demise can be just around the corner. So take your disgust elsewhere.

@eb352mm where did you get this information? the truth is, i dont know whether it was intentional or not, but i have seen people do this just meters off the ground.

commandro 10 months ago
@commandro That doesn't answer my question. The fact that a reserve can be deployed at higher altitude does not make this stunts any safer. That's like saying that having an air bag in your car makes you less prone to accidents. That's bullshit. It may help you survive it if it happens, but has nothing to do with it happening in the first place.
2000jago 10 months ago
@2000jago
Judging by your comment I assume you dont know much about paragliding. You are comparing a car crash to collapse. This is does not damage the glider and can be restored or even usually restores by itself without much input from the pilot, the recovery speed depends on the skill of the pilot and the wing classification. You will only lose some altitude, no damage, no injury. You only need some space to recover.
commandro 9 months ago
@commandro
Infact, to acquire your license to fly, you need to show that you can handle different types of collapses, by inducing them voluntary. At safe altitude ofcourse. Should you fail, you can always throw a reserve.
The only wrong thing is about what he did is something you will have to learn at the first day: never let go of the brakes. It wouldnt have changed the outcome thou, since he already ignored the rule I described earlier.

Sadly, its not uncommon for experienced pilots to ignore basic safety rules, in some kind of distorted belief that safety precautions is something for rookies and homosexuals.
commandro 9 months ago
@commandro I've probably been paragliding longer than you've been alive, but that's not the point. The point is doing unnecessarily dangerous "stunts" is asking for trouble. Yes, a collapse can be recovered from as can a car that you loose control of. Both could occur when you're doing something stupid. You don't do stunts 100 ft from the ground, just like you don't drive with your feet at 300km/h. Both situations are a recipe for disaster. A reserve or airbag doesn't reduce the risk.
2000jago 9 months ago
@2000jago
If you really have been paragliding since I was born, you have now reached an age where it is very understandable you are no longer willing to perform risky maneuvers.
What I still dont get is why are you hammering to me about the dangers of low level bravery. I have never encouraged such behavior. Dementia? ;)

@commandro I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were playing the "who's going to have the last word game".

Através desse video, podemos constatar como o parapente é extremamente seguro e livre de qualquer tipo de perigo. O parapente representa o meio de transporte mais seguro que o homem já inventou. É o único, repito, o único tipo de vôo em que quando você sai do chão tem certeza que voltará para o chão intacto, tranquilo e com toda segurança. Aliás eu não consigo entender porque usa-se para-quedas reserva voando-se em algo que tem risco zero de acidentes.

First, paragliding is not exactly the safest thing to be doing on the weekend. Second, you increase your odds of getting hurt or killed by showboating! Its is very obvious he purposely took off in a upside down position and was laughing with his arms out. Then he flipped back over and that was that. It’s a dangerous sport when you add the two combinations together

Sorry, but the glider was launched with little stability, the guy was showing off on a fairly advanced wing and doing it with other gliders in the same airspace .
As a paraglider and instructor am always sorry to see anyone get hurt. But I am so glad it was only that soft lad and nobody else. Darwin got it right. Natural selection.

This guy was messing around - if you watch closely, his feet were in the controls upon initial launch. He then attempted to flip upside down on purpose and was attempting trying to grab the controls. He lost his wind and didn't catch the left brake. Pretty dumb stunt that cost him his life.

If you are going to do such a risky activity you gotta expect someones going to get it wrong, with this there's seldom a second chance. You are launching an unstable ram air wing into uplift , rotors, unstable clifftop air currents people who do this need their heads examined IMO and It's hardly a surprise or shock when they die .
