http://u-turnusa.com Paramotor expert Dell Schanze launches a powered paraglider on wheels. In order to take powered paragliding to the next level of high speed and smaller gliders they must be able to find a way to launch them in no wind situations. Here for the first time a paramotor is launched on Skikes. Kind of like wheeled skis they offer quite a bit of stability while making launching at high speeds completely possible.

The sport of powered paragliding is a total blast. As long as you get proper equipment and training the safety is incredible. Zero deaths and only 1 injury have ever happend on WPSDA certified equipment. That one injury was a RedBull pilot flying like a crazy man and even he lived and still flies today.

Beware of the usppa though. There is a fake organization posing as a governing body that pretends to promote and represent this sport. They do not train any instructors though, they have many self taught people posing as instructors and selling horribly outdated equipment. Jeff Goin, a self proclaimed anti-Christ, poses as the "president" and uses his websites to push people towards his buddies he knows are not real instructors while also knowingly and malicously tries to steer people away from the really skilled pilots and instructors in the sport. They also offer bogus training videos and books that have false information in them can can and will get people killed. The #1 cause of injury & death in the USA in powered paragliding is this usppa scam. If you were injured after received false information from this group please contact us immediately so we can add your name to the list for the authorities.

With proper WPSDA certified equipment and instruction you really can own and fly your very own personal backpack aircraft. Total deaths to date of 07 18 2010 = zero. Total injuries = 1. This incredible safety rating is unheard of in this type of sport. Be sure to get the right gear and instruction. Have fun and fly safe. http://u-turnusa.com/
