Reverse launch also would be better in this case, with that wind you can put the wing in his right position only with the brakes and then check everything before take off and run.
@albedran2 small frontal collapse during speed phase... he didn't stop the wing from shooting... @mintburger50 some groundhandling could really help him ;)
Problem started way before. Not enough pressure on a-risers, thats why the wing doesn't come up easily. Then after everything was out of control. Needs more practice, especially ground-handling.
No canopy check! And the area, quite wide, seems present no problem to do it without haste and calmly. The canopy check is something like the V1 on a multi engine aircraft take-off.
It's the go-no go moment. If the pilot had checked the canopy he would have been able to detect the forward surge and prevent it with a small brake actuation.
Inflate, check and correct (if necessary) and decide go-no go.

The most important thing in a paragliding takeoff is KEEP ON RUNNING

That launch was poor, the only incident is the pilot requires training.:)
