ULTRALITE PROBLEMS

[yronwyatt49b]

Your vid went viral on Libreville

[damianfloyd1129]

OMG! I am just wondering where the racist types of comments are.

[nemonespider]

girl: damn jonny want happen? jonny: sorry i pre ejackalated

[copperbeech1]

Was this filmed with a potato?

[MrCrash1956]

maybe he should take up bowling

[bcbluecheese]

1:03 i lol so hard i piss my self haaahahaha xD

[treejerk]

"premature ejectulation of the parachute" LMAO!

[TirianB]

Nice air brake, lol.

[stealhty1]

see nothing to it ......

[brgimscht]

smart...to pull the parachute on take off...very smart...

[debouvette]

I guess they just wanted to try the parachute, open it in fast taxi, and see how it goes, but the attachement point position makes that if you pull there (in this case, the parachute did), the wing will be in full deflection, creating that result. I hope he's allright.

[nctrooper10722001]

Dumb ASS !!

[jetaddicted]

ouch faceplant!!

[lexale]

a sta mano si è fatto male.......

[pjdaprinz]

Aren't you supposed to open the chute when you land? Just saying!

[FazerAddict]

@pjdaprinz actually no. you aren't.

[tuberockets]

great flight! is that real? =))

[LiquidTokyo]

Oooo, I can see my house fr... CRUSH!

[stealhty1]

BAD ASS

[jkorte666]

looks soooo sketchy...

[Likano2]

Where are the rifles mounted for these KAMIKAZE pilots?

[lucabrasi1337]

Those guys were pioneers.

[paraglide01]

That must ta hurt

[fosterbt]

Looks like he.. hit the tee, Jim.

[AGrandt]

Damn, premature release of a chute, especially at that altitude can really ruin your day...or life.

[HelicoptersAZ]

FUCKING DUMB ASS! omg thats very disturbing! WHY DID THE CHUTE OPEN AT TAKE OFF! IT SHOULD BE A BACK UP! THAT WAS HORRIBLE!

[alfteck]

A flying ass hole.

AL

[popsnacks2]

woah 113 did he die???? lol man it looked like it hurt!

[BenetFleck]

Those magnificent men in their flying machines.

[Christophers2015]

Wow that last one...at least he knows the parachute works...Thanks Peace.V.

[brybish]

ha ha!!

[Christophers2015]

Alright my first standing ovation ;)

[DTAMIKE]

Scary video for a trikeflyer.

Greetings from Sweden

[brycegp]

Does anyone know who shot this video or who owns it?  I want to use the crash at the end on a TV show.

Anyone know anything about where this clip came from?

[07Collinson]

@brycegp Hi my name is Ian I have only just discovered this on You Tube I was the pilot in the premature ejectulation of the parachute. It happened about 30 years ago at Mt. Buffalo Victoria Australia. It was shot by Channel 10. I was only slightly, hurt bruised ribs, black eye and concussion. The other pilot name is Greg and I believe is still living at Buffalo.

[rs4life32]

@07Collinson Well you ian are a retard

[07Collinson]

@rs4life32 Look who is calling the kettle black!!! I was supplied a faulty release cable you dumb ass

[indyboom]

WOW.. This club needs higher insurance and maintenace..

[pepeleyva]

Almost a ground loop

[wellboyaye]

Not great terrian for ultralights,

however pilot didnt have time to pick a set down point.

[majorglenn]

Ouch...

That last one should have hurt.

[nanintrozoba]

1:05 kidahora

[Clearly69]

Rough day at the field eh?

[eltoncarvalho]

fuck. The guy who had the premature parachute deployment is ok?

[metalwolfsolid]

OUCH! That one with the BRS chute deploying gave me a head ache just watching it :P

I can't wait until my ultralight arrives ^_^

[djn1066]

My dad calls that a figure 9 when I do it with a model...

[JonnyTommyGuns]

gliders are too dangerous. if your going to get into ultralights it should be a powered parachute or a ultralight gyroplane.

[MineTheSouls]

omfg, parachute failure...

[kolbpilot]

That second incident has to hurt.

[ricofly47]

aflacduky look at BRS web and learn about ballistic chutes.

[tincholimonada]

ups! blooper

[geneland]

OUCH!!! Premature Chute Deployment

[p4n0sgr]

ahahaah very funny and stupid!

[leviterande]

why did the engine cut out ?

[thejetdrvr]

Stoopid is - as stoopid does. Crankin and bankin like that....stoopid. The chute, unfortunate.

[Billy312008]

i was only cheking if my chute was in a good working condition

[Messo7]

an ultralight isnt built for such hard turns. take ur time, level the nose the. easily lean the delta bar if ur a starter pilot.

[gamr4life]

Never mix glue-sniffing and flying.

[flightlevel1000]

2 words grow up

[drdan117]

OMG your balllistic parachute went off? what did u hit a nasty bump?

[61914]

it looks like it just kinda... fell out

[masterofstick]

yeah i was thinking of the ones that auto set off. you're right

:D

[CLayaway1]

You are so gay. Only a fucking child writes that shit. I hope you die a horrible painful death.

[kevjones93]

why was there a parachute in the last clip?

[mikeb172sp]

The first pilot did a great job of pushing the nose over after the engine failed. He kept it under control even though he was going to land in the trees.

[continental757200]

when were these invented

[masonicknight3]

everytime those flammin gay shove something up their ass, they should remember to rmove it.

the hampster said " i was here first,dammit !"

[gertnood]

Spoken by an expert. I think your mommie is calling, better get off the computer.

[masonicknight3]

if my mommy was a gay, id make fun of her if she crashed too !!

[zeophoto]

You've posted this elsewhere too, get a life.

[pilotman329]

This last dude's action was just plain stupid! Or at least it was a stupid malfunction. I hope he was alright though... Seems pretty painful how he nosedived into the ground there. Geez...

[sunsetglen]

Deploying chute on takeoff ... LOVE IT !!!

Video taping all ultralight flights should be mandatory .. AWESOME entertainment!

[mjok2004]

That why australian regulation requires height before not flying over the top the the strip lol

[aflacduky]

1:15 fucing ballistic shoots LMAO these things have never save anyone i know but have killed 2 people in a club my best friend belongs to

[gertnood]

Baloney they have never saved anyone - do some research pal. The owner of one of the major manufacturers of UL ballistic chute systems saved his own butt over a decade ago, when he folded a wing at just under 100' AGL -at an air show no less, in front of spectators and cameras. He deployed his chute and walked away from the incident. It was not a contrived event either.

They are called 'chutes btw, not shoots. It's short for parachute.

[aflacduky]

you must be a big ultralight fan.

And i know what it stands for,and i have done my research.And i am not your damn pal.I would trade 30 ballistic chutes for 1 airplane in wich i didnt need the damn things!

I was CAP for 7 years i have seen alot of dead people that were killed due to the fact they were thinking it would save them. I looked in the FAA charts before i posted back to you and there were a shit load of dead people that died in ultralight aircraft.however i couldnt find any saved

[gertnood]

Nevertheless it has happened; perhaps it is easier to find records of failed deployments rather than successful ones. In the incident I know of directly the unit was a Second Chantz rocket-deployed ballistic chute, and the report showed he was at about 75' AGL. I imagine there are cases where the chute didn't do much. Are you saying there are cases where the 'chute is the culprit, or that the 'chute was deployed to no avail? I would bet some people think it is an infallible lifeline - not.

[lowpuller65]

Its similar to a reserve parachute on a skydiving rig. You never hear about the reserve rides when they work you only read about them if they dont.

[steveital]

why dont you shut the fuck up who gives a fuck about your and all your litte fag friends in CAP

[ARR15ART13]

I believe I saw that incident gertnood referred to at the airshow at Salinas CA many years back. It was an Eipper MX that broke a wing cable doing a loop. The wing folded up and it went into a vicious spin. I thought the pilot would be killed. After serval turns and at a very low altitude he managed to manually deploy a chute attached to the airframe. He came down OK. It was not a rocket assisted chute.

[michalstolik]

masakra ,rescue system - be or not to be

[stoneagearcher]

That looked like amateur hour!

[bikersrule07]

i had a crash on a ultralight , severd 3 fingers on my left right hand was severd in half , watching this bought chills to my spine

[isanho]

damn you should have made a video and posted it on youtube

[bikersrule07]

I do have some vids on vhs im to lazy to convert them

[omgidontcare54]

you should do it!

[74VDC]

I'm a former U.L. pilot and am curious...what was it that severed your fingers and hand..the prop or just smashed? I'm looking at maybe....maybe getting back into it, but am afraid of something like that. I have a lovely wife to support. They sure are fun though...and I really felt "alive" in mine. Do you know what I mean when I say "alive"? I can still remember the smell of freshly cut fields, the 2 cycle smoke...everything...I loved it...truly loved the feeling.

[0eden0]

The crash at 0.30 i mean.

[Rammaine]

LOL IT JUST STOPPED

[drjimmysnervetonic]

WTF?!?

[airbutz]

there are cool pilots .. and old pilots.. but rarely cool old pilots.. the word of the day is "preflight-check".. at least this is keeping the upper skies clean of diletants like this one.. airbutz

[irish89055]

not sure ya can call them pilots.. but it is "there are old pilots and bold pilots but they're no old, bold pilots.

[Danskaa]

That guy at 0.30 is an arse. Its great flying and everything but he is way to aggresive especially at such a low alt. No matter how u crash it hurts. landing a trike hard can give u a real back problem.

[0eden0]

Sounded like and engine failure.

[dponder]

Sounded like he forgot to turn the fuel on. It happens too often.

[roughrider040]

Ummm??? Can anyone say "Pre-flight check?"

[TonyAirlines]

Can anyone say "don't pull the parachute on takeoff?"

[roughrider040]

Can anyone say "MEDIC!"

[willcraigle]

@TonyAirlines dammmmn

[josetiburon2007]

te comiste el arbol

[machenga]

hahahaha. the last 10 seconds looked like a cartoon

[josef2424]

it doesnt look like he didn't crash that bad.

[dubspins]

omg.....that last one makes MY body hurt, damn i bet he was seriously injured if not killed....prolly snapped his neck

[jvillafu]

Fuck!!, is he ok, (the last one of course).

[razed1022]

Ha ha ha the guy at the end said damm whatt happened. lolllll!!

[inagod]

without these guys,trikes may not have evovled into the great flying machines they are,they gave it all,true mavericks

[chueffer]

that was bad, does anyone know how high the pilot falls from at 1:08?

[razielofdark]

the guy with the parachute had died?

[kitepilot]

The first guy was flying reckless then stalled the wing during an engine out. The second guy with the parachute was doomed once it deployed. This is a good vid showing how it is not done. Thanks for all of the "expert" opinions from the nonpilots.

[JohnGHawk]

I have to admit I spit my coffee all over the place on the last one also...... I'm still laughing as I'm hitting the keys. My wingman which is a trike driver is going to get a link to this....

[parafan]

This is not the "early days of ultralights"; trikes like this didn't exist then. The first pilot made a mistake flying too low over a bad place to land if his engine quite (which it did), then handled it as best he could. The second was mechanical failure resulting in the parachute deployment as another commenter pointed out.

[justanotherkevin]

I'm pretty sure the parachute isn't supposed to deploy on takeoff.

[dontask2015]

1:08... whats with the chut tied to the thin what an idiot!

[rotoledo]

That´s a gang of idiots!

[peter8488]

brake test...test sucKessful.

[generalgruesbeck]

LMAO!!!

[BANGERS68]

oh dear

[tailwheelflier]

that sucks,,,learn from mistakes,,,if you live through the first one,,you usually dont' make the second one!

[kookyannie]

thats for safty?

[plwfl]

carai q bando de idiotas!!!

[drifter503]

Everyone needs to relax a little bit. That video seems to be from some time ago and the post itself refers to the fact that these guys did not have it all under control.

[13snoopy]

There's absolutely nothing funny here.

I am amazed at the idiots who think this is funny.

Go jump off of a building from sixty feet and after you hit the ground come back and tell us all how comical it was.

[ShiekUrBooty]

being a base jumper, a skydiver and commerial pilot, I know that darwin awards go to mostly dead stupid people...you were saying?

[4330moss]

If there is nothing funny here, then why am I laughing so hard..I dont know a damn thing about ultralights,I stumbled this video I guess everyone who laughs at the three stooges are idiots too,they were hurt too...lighten up that was funny!!

[zubax]

learn from it

[Farhanians]

1st use of parachute.....air resistance=brake

2nd use of parachute.....entertainment=pa­rachuting

3rd use of parachute.....brake+crashx2com­bo=crash

[glennlopez]

I know its rude to laugh at people getting hurt but i found it hard to resist on the last clip... HAHAHHA funniest accident ive ever seen in aviation

[huynhminhtri]

Ithink those people are very lazy and stupid .

You guys should go to the water [ lake or river or ocean ] -so the landing could n't be tough like that .

Atleast , water may save your life .You must learn how to swim first .

[glennlopez]

Yeah well, unfortunantly young'uns like you fail to realise that water... like air has viscosity and are quik to assume that water will save your life when you smack through it. You should know that water has a viscosity of a brick when you slam through it at 50mph... so not only will you get a dislocated face uppon hitting the water... but you will also drown. (does that sound safer to you?)

[hyedenny]

uh, YES - Id rather hit water at 50mph (I do it all the time diving) than hit a brick wall at 50mph. By the way, liquid water, being a Newtonian fluid does NOT change its viscosity, no matter how fast youre going when you hit it. You need to brush up on your rheology and kinetics (and spelling)!

[jeanpaberger]

very very idiot

[floridacoder]

Was that a BRS failure on the parachute deployment? How did the BRS launch??? By choice (stupidity), accident (pilot error), or failure of the BRS system?

[FisandCram]

That last one looked funny.however,I know that it wasn't.

[commandro]

the last one looked very stupid

[icebarrage1166]

1:10 got owned lmao

[sigrana]

I was on that airfield that day. The parchute idiot (stretched sleeve of the chute cable, set on the A frame)only suffered minor scratches.

[bessybessy]

Pioneers less experience. Long time ago but ewer sad. :(

[moverso1]

Did the last fellow survive?

[REFORMHILL]

to my knowledge YES

[niitr0]

oh thats good

[ultraflight4471]

typical cayuna
