Paragliding crash in Spain

Jeb w drzewo. xd

seeing so many people failing to take off was... depressing.

i guess that's the not-so-fun side of paragliding.

[miguelonzky]

Que lugar tan riesgozo para volar en parapente, y que pilotos parece ser que no pagaron dinero por aprender, o apenas estan practicando sus primeros vuelos. para eso existen los cursos básicos de vuelo, me extraña que hagan esto tan mál esos amigos, teniendo en españa a los mejores pilotos del mundo de parapente, RAUL Y FÉLIX RODRIGUEZ, al igual que Horacio LLorens. si van a seguir volando haganlo en un lugar mas seguro. y siempre aprendan de los mejores!!

I love the last guy who's "sit-flying" and finishes in the tree :-)

[carlosgm94ps3]

esta gente se pegan estos castañazon por que no tienen ni P*T* idea de controlar un parapente

[crazyskyaustria]

sehr selektiver startplatz ;-}

[DAstlACE]

[boomerang369]

Madre mia quien son estos tios con tanto talento?????



[wolverineks]

Paragliders: Because people enjoy risking their lives for NOTHING when they could just go paraSAILing.

[6monos6]

@KampferXeon Are you REALLY comparing paragliding to parasailing?? Go hang under a piece of cloth at 10 meters above the water, seeing only, guess what, water underneath you and let us who wanna risk our life for "nothing" enjoy the view of a beautiful mountain underneath going where we want to, not where a boat drags us and flying at 3000 meters, not 10.

[TheAdecarter]

Was this for real or were they learning?

[guitarpilot1]

how do you pronounce "parapente"? Does it sound like "pair of panty", or in plural, "pair of panties"? I liked this video by the way. I watch it often.

Fools keep pulling on the brakes while trying to lift off.

[farflyer]

Excluding some, most of them putting too much breaks on take off. Some of them do not wait until the wing comes over head & they go for premature launch. Wind was OK as they did reverse launch.

C U up in the Sky.

[carbonlarge]

The launch off the carpet is very small, with not a very steep angle and bushes to hit, unless you sprint like a mad man.. Forward launch off this site takes a lot of committed effort..

[beau5757]

Wind turbine vortex, perhaps?

[parapentealdia]

yes, of course,,,

[knikker2]

Start and land into the wind.

[dynamicz108]

Into wind....all aircraft should be launched into wind.

But if theres no wind things can get tricky in paragliding:L

[EftelFan]

''all aircraft should be launched into wind.''

Correct. But they don't have to. It is possible to launch downwind. Got to say; you need to have a longer take off roll;) And the wind speed has to be not to hard.. so not severe. Paragliders don't like launching downwind (tailwind)....

[dynamicz108]

correct

[flytox06]

at least it was funny to watch since noone got hurt, but there are some mistakes to correct in take off domain during small conditions =)

[parapentealdia]

thanks, you are very correct flytox06

[LimpJimmy]

Brave people indeed.

Look, I don't want to sound mean here or anything, but are all of those pilots retarded??

I'm genuinely scared here. PLEASE FIND THIS PLACE, GO THERE AND TEACH THEM HOW TO LAUNCH. Please also (after launch is ok) check their landings while you are there.

[stevie334]

What are they all doing wrong then?

[parapentealdia]

Good instructor, very good zone but not much wind and besides crosswind much days, but we are brave people Spaniard.

Yours sincerely...

[permanentflebo]

@parapentealdia "good instructor"? ARE YOU KIDDING? there is no tecnique at all in all of those take off!

even the tandem' pilots don't know how to leave the hill!!

change the instructor before somebody get hurt.

[mikefly4ever]

what da f...... who is the instructor in that fly zone?

[andrecote007]

Very scary to see so many pilots putting that much break at take off.

I wish you a lot of ground handling asap!

[Vortigon]

My GOD! ... Can none of these people fly??

[0815tobey]

looooooool !

Did anyone get in the air that day?
