Hanggliding Extreme- Scary landing in Imsdalen-Norway

[pidouble145]

that landing was scary.

[YMAmyFoot]

Wish I had a hangglider too. Been my wish to fly since childhood but sadly I will probably die without the experience. Atleast you are living my dream there. Lucky you.

Really great landing, have to hand it to you I don't know how you got into that situation but you handled it very well!

[djxlsanantonio]

pontoons would had been nice that way you could put it in the water

Are you thinking "find lift" or "where do I land?" Too bad you found no lift. The clouds and sky indicate lift is available. Hint: don't fly down the middle of valleys.

[milsluker]

After 30 years in the saddle I`m not exactly known for "where do I land" , or "flying down middle of "valleys""Mr.Thermalf.. And if you look closely I seek under fresh clouds. Hint; If you see a great Cu developing, don`t fly around it even if its a valley beneath..

And if you look even closer, this "valley" have zero landings, but a lot of landings on both mountainsides..

I'm glad you're Ok. Thanks for posting. If you had a landing-chute maybe you'll have a better landing. I confess, I never use mine.... I should deploy it for training purposes just in case.

That was a rough landing... Any broken bones?

[milsluker]

Enjoy the tight landing video I sent you! I've been in your shoes more times than I can count.

[milsluker]

@HGVidFun :

Thank for sharing. But after 28 years of XC flying without any hazards I promise you it will take a LONG time until I end up without landings again. 10 km up I overfliew a big acre...

Yikes! 

[WonderBoyyyyy]

Wow, made the best of a bad situation.

[treeamigo]

Wow, that took stones. So did posting it and thanks for sharing.

Any reason why you leave the protective cover at the top of the down tubes?

I am new on my T2 - I'll try to learn from your mistake. I don't want to make it myself ;-)

[milsluker]

@treeamigo ;

No problem, I hope somebody will safe down on a big field before getting low in Nomansland.In fact I overfliew a big acre 10 km up. But it was a great XCflight until this happened, and its easy to analyze sitting safe in the sofa afterwards..

[Highrockman]

You got it down in one piece ..pretty good considering..didnt even look like you took out a down tube..Looked like you hit hard ..hope u r ok!!

[milsluker]

@Highrockman ;

No problem, it seems worse than it felt.

(I run/walked 3 hours out from the area afterwards..)

[milsluker]

@Highrockman; No problem and I had a geat(and safe) flying summer after this...
