  • respect to the pilot....

  • The pilot has a rock solid nerves that he was able to deploy a parachute in such a merry-go round. The rotation is terribe fast.

  • What glider was it ??

  • lucky :)

    HG infinity :D

  • well part worn ,should have cheaked it or replace parts every so often like a sevice and if you say they are always serviced then what happened

  • wow! Veramente spettacolare!

  • great save! wondered if he was going to get 'wound up'..

  • dick head surely this happend because these machines cant handle this abuse and preasure

  • Dear dick head caller,

    You don't have to be a dick about it.

    These machines CAN handle the forces IF they are in perfect condition and everything is done corrrectly. Either he pulled up too hard or a part was worn and about to fail. It is not uncommon to pull 5 or 6 G-s, and this kind of loading will quickly point out a weak part!

  • who is the pilot?

  • Fredy Bircher

  • Nice vid!

    anyone know what happened?

    Looks like a side wire might have given way?

  • well that's exactly what the text intro for the video says.

  • Rupture of the hang glider of Frédy Bircher at the time of its 3rd run.

    According to him it is the bar of control which would have broken, but after having seen its wing, it would seem that it is cables it side left which broke on the level of the leading edge inside the greenhouses cables (Talurit).
