Hang Gliding Basics for Beginners : Tips for a Landing Approach in Hang Gliding

[mp2chan]

Recently my friends and I have been looking at hang gliding lessons since its the groupon thing of the week, I've been really skeptical of safety, but after seeing your videos I'm much more comfortable with it, thanks :)

NOTE: The hang glider pilot shown was asked to do this as a favor by the film maker- a paraglider pilot selling videos to Expert Village

It was intended as a BASIC OVERVIEW only! It may look like complete instruction, but is NOT! There is so much more to learn that can ONLY COME FROM AN INSTRUCTOR BEING PRESENT see USHPA.org

The pilot had no script nor chance to see/edit the video/text. It's pretty good, but (WARNING!) there are several errors, cuts/omissions & a few misrepresentations.

How do you get your legs into the harness after take off?

You are doing a very good thing for the HG sport. I would rather people see this type of video when they search for hang gliding out of interest in our sport, and NOT see the rare video of pilot errors.Keep up the good work, and thank you sir.

Nice expalnation bro. will come in handy when I do go up. Will not fly untill next year. Landing is a big problem even for some pros. I watch a lot of videos on hang gliding, I have falcon 225, and will not fly it untill I get some lessons. I have seen a lot of accidents on hang gliders. When I take the 225 out I take some one with me and tie the kite off sometimes the wind is too strong and it like wants to flip to one side. it helps when there is someone to halp manage it.
