paragliding wingover goes wrong

[WillianKiister]

Todo fora do sincronismo!!!



[Skippieralph]

10 meters higher or 10 meters lower would have ended up in hospital.

This was your lucky day

[cham691]

100ft above the ground is not the place to attempt wingovers!

[DJMSandWB]

Why you are so stupit and make a wingover so near the ground?

[ichen78]

One of the luckiest man on earth..

[lgarvey]

"OMFG OMFG OMFG.. whoa.. I just landed"

[prasinoprosopo]

trying to understand the reaction of the glider, i played several times the video from 0,16 to the end. it looks like a moment is missing there where the pilot looses control. but i fell of my chair listening ... owww... a-ha ha ... o o o ... shit shit shit ohoho come out (shit) come out (shit) come out GOOD JOOOOB(!) ou! HE SAVED IT(!) ou! oh josh oh men... lol!

[dozybozo]

@prasinoprosopo : small wingover (ok) followed by 2 progressively larger. last  wingover pilot braked with little wing speed & stalled one side of the glider = spin. All done close to ground. recommendation = watch clip "Wingovers by OZONE"

[prasinoprosopo]

@dozybozo "Wingovers by OZONE" is one of my most favorite paragliding videos . thanks anyway. other sugestions?

[35394691]

As I said before: Paragliding is for irresponsible and lazy people. Step up to Hang Gliding!

[amilalis]

plimauro, que tal fazer aqui em canoa?

[sebak81]

LOL "He save it".. it was just his lucky day.. god loves him

[bmradux]

hahah "he saved it"

[slkyo]

Descarao tio Bola extra, aprovechala

[paraglider1234]

wow

[wild1600]

Tytuł powinien brzmieć; Początek nowego życia:)

[MrJslade]

How lucky was that.

[malachut]

First thing clever to do your wingovers in that altitude specially when second they look like this and third ...sure he saved it - lol ... he was just damn lucky

[karaneychev]

INCREDIBLE :D i'm sure u quit low altitude wingovers :D

[MrGhassanchouaib]

u r living a "Bonus" so enjoy it !!

[g45uk2]

Pure luck

[songbird76]

seems to me that this pilot is trying to make wingovers without weight shift which is very important to make good wingovers.

[yulpara]

you have to learn so much how to make wingovers.you are lucky man at least

[l0lkie]

LUUUUUUUUUUCKY

[CchoucasS]

why the hell would you do wing overs so low when you have no clue how they are done??

[josephdart]

if that spin happened 8 meters higher, you'd not count yourself lucky! but you are.. practice with more altitude, and use outside brake to keep pressure and build up slow.

[sebak81]

Nice helicopter landing :)

[gentleben]

I must agree that the sport is very forgiving...as a navy pilot and a paraglider pilot, the paraglider is by far the most forgiving aircraft I've flown. If you can solo with less than an hour of flight...it's forgiving. Nice save though, not luck!

[barneygumble123]

It is nothing but pure luck!!!

[ancoraluna]

Wow! Shows just how forgiving this sport can be. Try that maneuver with anything else that flies. See ya!! A little close terra firma to be fooling around. Just one man's opinion.

[pddwatch81]

ancoraluna: "Wow! Shows just how forgiving this sport can be".

Not true - it is luck yes but nothing to do with the sport. It is like skiing of a cliff and landing in a snow drift and not the rocky outcrop right next to it. That is all, it's just luck this didn't all start at 10ft lower altitude.

I guess you could say that a PG is safer because it's wings can inflate after collapsing ... but then again no other A/C has wings that collapse and get tangled when you stall!

[SandmaNParateam]

wow, what a landing !!! =)) fly high, fly safe

[plimauro]

8-O ohhhh my good!! You are the luckiest guy in the world... and you perform the worst wing overs of the universe!!! Two records at once ;-)

[borntofly2]

dude god loves you...

[CornishColin]

You sure its a collapse ? Looks more like a spin to me.

[neverlandguy]

you may have died dude. if you arent skilled enough dont do such manevours

[pgpete]

yep. that collapse was due to bad technique. weightshift while you are swinging through under the wing and use brake at the top of the swing through to yaw the wing ready for the next one. dont forget to use some outside brake when the wingovers get big as that is the side that tucks because of low angle of attack.

[kohlerkj]

Those were some pretty ugly wingovers, you gotta commit hard to the first one and complete the turns. Keep the wind positive throughout

[funky2134]

Holy fuck! A brown trouser moment! I agree with Ruiparapente .. if you aint mastered a mnvr... do it high.

[thismoment23]

...that was close,.....

[flysebifly]

What a damn idiot. doing that stuff so close to the ground, without being able to control it.

I can't believe how anybody can be such an idiot...

[erikpmort]

didn't deserve that landing doing stuff at that altitude.

[soaringman]

"he saved it" I dont think he saved anything, just lucky he was at that exact hight for those circumstances.

[Gonzorrr]

hehe... thats right! fucking good luck!!! Man be glad that you dont sit in a wheelchair!

[loiq]

matey should buy lottery tickets again with luck like that.

[wayne11122000]

This is a perfect example of "Risk vs. Reward", and a better example of "SHIT HAPPENS". NO matter how experienced a pilot you are, you risk being seriously injured or even killed doing manouvers or "showing off" without enough altitude to correct a problem, or having the time to throw a reserve. "You do have a reserve? Which is no guarantee either!" Thankfully though, it appears you walked away from this!

[sameerhalai]

That really is a lucky save.

[Ruiparapente]

Really lucky, we can learn something with this! If you dont master it, make it high!

[pilotojpa]

que sorte nunca vi!

[xavparis]

it's good!! lol

[arcticpilot]

This cat got way lucky! You shouldn't do maneuvers under like a thousand Ft agl. This could've ruined everybody's day. I would have whipped out the spare yellow underware at the first sign of an asym!

[spacelord3000]

hahahha now thats a nice landing!
