This is what happens while flying equipment NOT suiting your take off weight.
In this case it is a Tandem Wing but only one person.

  • all aboard the fail train, why did this guy try to fly underweight?

  • @thecartel69

    He must have been applying for the Darwin award!

  • can ya ride tandem?

  • @gilessmokey

    Yes of course. With proper training, equipment and the necessary exception (since you are taking up a passenger and are responsible for him) it is not a problem @ all.

  • @poweredparagliding

    Gotcha.

    Thanks!

  • How does a person who is interested in this sport, know what size of paramotor and parasail to purchase? There are many companies out there selling these and I have no idea what kind and what size to get?

  • @erinlassley

    Ask an instructor.

    Go to USPPA.org and look up one in your area.

  • looks like he spun the wing at 0:26, then tried to stop the turn with an input to the other side, which full stalled the glider. Note the collapse when the spin first happens

  • @poweredparagliding you will have to pardon me on this one. "can ya ride tandem" is an extract from 1970`s " brooke bond advert- tour de france" a uk tea advert that some brits will remember from years ago it is on you tube.

  • that wasnt so bad

  • Turtle Turtle Turtle!
