many crashes

[RabbitWithC4]

You guys ever heard of a training hill.....? 0_0

[kaniamos]

Tandem pilots should go back to train....You cant risk passenger injury guys. be serious.....

[schl0tte]

I can spot a lot of noobs with high performance gliders. None of them has control.

1:25 is a handmade idiot who tries to look cool

[saladinero]

vaya pandilla de inutiles...

Is the hardest thing."-Tom Petty

[yoshyoka]

There is somewhere in the mind of bad pilots a voice which says: I'll never abort a launch, no matter how bad it starts....

[bluemax66]

Looks like the pilots need to practice there kiting skills. Doing forwards in windy conditions....AHHH WHY?

[viper19861986]

This is like ground lunching with a skydive shoot?

But its a bit different type of shoot so its called paragliding?

Correct?

And hanggliding is wthe V shape wings.

[FireStarDoink]

1:19

He acually did pretty good for a 'fail' or 'crash'...

[TheNovaAxon]

IMHO it has nothing to do with spring. The shown pilots dont check their canopy before takeof and hardly controle the aircraft. The tandem pilots are the worst i have ever seen!

[PersonCommon]

Stronger conditions + Low Skill pilots

[orsmalm]

love the guy at 1:28 looks like he is gonna run like hell but then he imeadeality sits down :) i have learned that your feet shuld be pointing down when close to the ground

[zappr5]

Sorry for my obvious comment but this launch is no place to be fucking about! Also, half of these dum dums would have successfully launched with a rigid wing....not sure that's a good thing though. :)

[78trig]

Wow, none of them can take off properly...and that dude is flying a tandem. Scary!

[dougwjackson]

at :59 get off the brakes and nobody ever looks UP at their wings, bad or no training.

[cruelangeltesis]

It's not the season, it's the pilotos... they don't have good launch techniques

[fiskegnu]

Well ...Stay at the training hill a little longer. It´s makes better pilot´s !!!

[ParaglidingManiac]

Idiots... Good equipment - but no brains.

[paragreg2]

So...... I think is one of most unsafety flight site!!

[asdacu]

Stop this paragliding joke and start hang gliding

[kauaihaole]

i agree 100%

[armandin2048]

Looks like a great place to start a flying school!

[breastimus]

wow, what happened at 1:19??? doesn't look like he stalled...was it just bad air?

[xcaucasus]

such compilations, while not necessarily being dramatic, are incredibly useful for people to review and learn from. Indeed, there really is a problem with the launching. Thanks.

[hollaho0]

Well, indeed, ONE SINGLE of these incidents is a crash, the rest is about 50:50 split between mis-starts and more or sometimes less controlled aborted starts. You can see plenty of these on any start where student pilots are starting.

Some of the aborts and misstarts look like the pilot isn't a very good or routined pilot, but occasionally an aborted start any pilot, even the best, has. Especially if the wind ain't laminar. A controlled abort is rather a sign of good piloting than the opposite!

[EftelFan]

Nice video. Although.. it's not a crash when the pilot don't manage to put his parachute above his head (don't know the english terms...)

[EftelFan]

Ah, found the correct term; to inflate his parachute. When he doesn't manage to inflate his parachute it isn't a crash;) With those winds you should inflate your parachute backwards btw.. much more control!

[miguelonzky]

I would like to know is this place cause Iam a certified paraglider instructor, that would be a good bussiness working with those guys!! please let me know how far is this place from Guadalajara Mexico I am looking for job!!

[Lehmann108]

I don't even PG, but it seems like they don't know what they are doing. Are they trying to launch too early before the canopy is above them and in control?

[FlySG38]

I've heard of less expensive ways to kill yourself...

[lgarvey]

It's scary that duel pilots are exhibiting such incompetence yet they have a passenger to look out for.

[hikkabooo]

where does spring get in the picture

[spystealth]

thats gold!!! its funny seeing people doing things with no idea whatsoever!

[termalzona]

..sem vento ou com ele rotorizado é "freud" messsmo...

[cookie5347]

all the gear n no idea!

[MaartenSpoek]

Oh man, what a laugh, these people really don't know how to fly! It's crazy!

[CLayaway1]

a couple of them (or at least one) is because of stupid bystanders being to close to launch area

[FormerFF]

Note to self: Don't go for a tandem PG flight in Korea.

[WeFlyTogether]

Nice place

[lowpo123]

It is really a nice place to fly. I enjoy getting off from work and go fly.

[Mordoklej]

noobs

[cyrilgiraud]

no control means no flight

[lowpo123]

Most of the time the wind is coming from the right or the left.

[pablovert]

Ehy 0 wind is not an excuse!!! 90% of those guy don't now what is gorund handling!

And what scares me is the poor quality of the tandem pilots!!

[ARScooterTow]

@pablovert in tandem that one was pushing the wrong way or is that just me 1:04

[sigmedical]

Nice video. I'm inclined to say your crashes are pilot related with the exception of 1:16. Crappy conditions will ruin any launch. But it looks more like the wings just aren't being laid out and handled properly.

[lowpo123]

yes, you are right most are piolt error. Most of the time the piolts should not have been trying to fly.

[1Irishman1977]

@sigmedical They shouldn't be driving let alone flying...LOL or in this video attempting to.. does the word kamakazi mean anything?..LOL

[AdrenalineAddicted]

If you see everyone crashing/failing wouldn't you assume you will probably also fail. Looks like a side/cross wind in addition to a few other unfavorable factors.

[lowpo123]

yes, with some of the take offs the wind was from a 90 degrees from the left.

On some of the videos the gilder were taking off with no wind.

[lowpo123]

I have seen hang gliders crash also

[sts70004]

maybe it'd work with a real wing...

[fiskepannekake]

Ever heard about groundhandling???????

[xckelly]

haha, wind looks perfect, n00bs ;)
