Excellent PSA Maarten. I'm gald Frank came out o.k. I guess he never watched the video of Jason's tumble on his Sensor. Same cause. Only he was spinning on his uprights.

Instructor?? I am glad that the poor student is ok.

Excellent reaction of the instructor: no panic.

@ollandezulzburator You are right...the reaction was accurate...I just thought that 6 hours of airtime is too soon to start performing this type of manouver. I am glad all was ok. Cheers to all from Mexico.

The instructor told to do the exercise with the hands on the bottom bar. He's not to blame.. the student did this, coz he thought he was going to get a bigger thrill out of it... well he got that for sure.

But now we can for sure tell the students that it is really dangerous to do a stall on the uprights.

@MaartenSpoek You bet. This is a lesson for many joining the sport.

Yes, you can see the sail just roll up and the leading edge breaking at where it is sleeved. When I have more details about sail size etc, I'll post it.
