Base: Bridge, Antenna, Span, Earth. Fix, ground objects. Exit from any aircraft, and it's a skydive... It's just that BASE sounds more awesome.

well, you see, my friend, it is not I to decide the penalties. There were 2 flying objects i the sky. And both were FLYING. Unnatural for human beings, is it not ? ???? So we can dabble in injurous talk, but all I have 2 say is, that, it was a HAPPY ending. As so I have said before, in the description of this my, this video. There is nothing 2 punish, just "Skydiver vs. Paraglider"

Being a skydiver myself I would say its everybodys fault. If the paraglider knew there were gonna be jumpers jumping then dont fly below them.  The skydiver shouldnt have jumped if there was traffic below them, and the organizers shouldnt of allowed it to even be a possibility. Just my 2 cents..their lucky to be alive for sure

the skydiver must be a complete retard

Well, let's see. The skydiving crowd, mainly BASE jumpers, seem to be on a "devil may care course" - BASE jumpers for sure! One would wonder why all of this activity was being conducted in such close proximity. If the jumper was REQUIRED to "dump" at, say, 2,500' or 2,000' AGL, did he pull low? Or was the paraglider at the jumper's pull altitude. I've only been around the skydiving crowd since, oh, 1967; things have changed - and not for the better. Is there still a USPA? B-6370, N6395T

The Base/Skydiver should have seen the bright orange wing against the blue of the ocean. Paraglider had no way of avoiding, but the same can't be said for the jumper. Idiot.

Actually its a BASE jumper not skydiver....

who was to blame in that???

[skezburah]

@spiraldive2 couldnt agree more mate chrrybomb is off his head if he thinks that

[skezburah]

umm u people do no that the skydivers jumped from gliders aswell (hang gliders) so someone really fucked up as they would have launched from the same place as the paragliders and were all doing the same shit

@CLayaway1

Yes, I'll definitely blame the organizer :-( (even if he didn't have any expertise in both sports, he should have asked after experts).

Secondly, I agree with you but skydivers went directly into a very efficient tracking instead of simple freefall. The guy nearly killed two paragliders, I don't know if the second one was too close or an optical illusion?

@GreenteaBoy There is a speed limit, gravity only pulls so hard.

I often wonder if people commenting on videos on youtube have any relevant experience of the activity they are watching.
