Bob Armond was flying a relatively recently purchased "hang glider trike"
Not a PPG.
A witness said that it "plummeted" 100 feet, presumably from fairly level flight. There was no mention of maneuvering.
He was flying near 11AM in a desert area. Convective turbulence would be well before peak but would be quite strong given the dry, desert conditions. But this was a framed ultralight meaning that it should be reasonably resistant to turbulence.
He was a larger than life person who did a lot for the sport of PPG
and will be missed by many.

I never got a chance to meet him but I wish I did! Totally a class act.

He's so full of life in that video, it's heartbreaking to know he's suddenly gone.
