His face was ok. He broke his arm. If he would've let go of the control bar on impact he would've simply swung through the control frame and bounced his helmet off the center support post.
There are tandem gliders that will carry the duck. The duck doesn't have a sense of humor when it comes to somone poking fun at him. He always deletes my comments and blocks me.
I was told he learned to fly at a coastal site and learned to land on pontoons.That was the first and only time I met the pilot.His other problem is he didn't pay attention to the wind direction.He came in with a quartering tail wind.I kicked up dust,pointed at the wind indicators and yelled at him to no avail.
what im finding funny is the guy saying ' oh god, hes heading for trees AGAIN' ....AGAIN??? AGAIN?? lol i take it uve crashed b4. dude maybe u shud stay at home and watch tv insted
Ouch! I did something similar but in no wind. Pulled in + stall recovery(from windshear)=big nose dive.spiral fracture left elbow,shattered right humerous,broken collar bone and 4 operations. Still trying to fly if a little nervous!!Wheels didn't do their job.Ground too rough.
Ok I have had 4 lessons and what I see is this pilot failed to grown skim, the pilot did not push out to stop it from hitting earth. this is a question?
The pilot failed to look at the wind indicators.I tried to to point out the wind direction by kicking dust and by pointing to the wind indicators.The pliot landed in sinking air with a quartering tail wind and failed to flare.
so down wind landing I read from firewingedangel, would anything else helped him in the last few seconds? I have 3 lessons loged and I am interesed in If I ever get comited to that what would be the best thing to do?Thanks
He should've tried to land the glider and he should've tried to flare the glider.When his body went to swing through the trapeze on impact he should've let go of the downtubes that would've prevented the broken arm.
"Heading for trees again"? =P I've got the top of trees between my legs a few times (and was always thinking how lucky I was not being a boy..). And I've seen some landings on top of them.
Did he only hurt his arm? Then I guess he should be well again now =)
This is a video of me. I'm not sure why I didn't flare harder. I remember there was a lot of turbulence and lift as I was preparing to land, but I think this video starts just after that. Thanks Andy for helping me out after that. Did you see a pair of sunglasses?
Anyway I would recommend that anyone have good insurance before trying this at home.
whoever the pilot is (Miki?), and yes i've seen his other takeoff crash, really needs to go back for more/better training before he kills himself.. where was his input to control the glider? what happened to his downwind/base/final approach? ..anyway, interesting vid and thanks for posting it... Miki might take up golf eh?
The pilot staring in this clip learned to fly towing up, and landing on water. This novice rated pilot crashed tail wind on a falcon 2 195 in a spacious, well marked LZ, (5400 MSL). Instead of swinging through the trapize, he attempted to stop his forward motion with his arms. Result, you guessed it, broken arm. An accident report has yet to be filed.
You seemed to be doing so well until that big rude planet got in your way o_0

Did this guy ever see this video or want to see it ?

78,000 views because people like to see someone crash and burn.
He did see this video and he also left a comment. His user name is mthead80.

Really,Fix me up with a glider buddy,I will crash anytime to get this many views,see carrots are good for 200 views,bla hahahAH!

You'd get more views if it was sam or pengies doing the crashing in the video.

Can the hand gliders take that kind of weight,over 400 pounds,12 extra for carrot supply !
LOL,duck was mad at ,me last night about the carrot shit !

Well,He still can't go 2 - 3 mins with out food in the air,lol.
The duck can dish it out but he can't take it back,he blocks me to.
I think frevor stopped posting his videos and he got e hurt,hehehehe !
MYBOSS2009 2 years ago
man, he should have pull her down as soon she deviated from course, this could have ended badly
belgianhorst 3 years ago
He also should've paid attention to which way the wind was blowing in the l.z.. It did end badly,he broke his arm.

Too upright, too slow, too much tailwind,too stalled, too little experience.

I guess he was caught in a minor 'downburst'
or air, else he may have had ample time
and altitude to flare. Was airspeed
sufficient...?

His problem was he came in with a quartering tailwind.

The "as long as I walk away" landing method.
zeophoto 4 years ago 2
The only problem with that method is that he walked away with a broken arm.
flyhghgy 4 years ago
lmao, did you not teach him to pull out of a dive? in this case from hitting the ground.
He is just compitly letting the glider fly itself, he has to control it atleast somewhat.

It depends on several factors:the weather and how quickly you learn the needed skills and the amount of time you spend learning the needed skils.
