  • nice to see it recover so fast, what wing was he flying?

  • A sky atis? not sure now.

  • Go fly with someone that tells you it is 100% safe then :) Stuff like this can sometimes happen and since we had caught it on film we thought it best to share it with the PPG community.

  • Where do you usually fly? Anywhere near the Niagara region? Drop by some time maybe..

  • paraglider did well to recover so fast, saved your bacon.

  • That's the reason I fly a paper airplane indoors! Stupit---you can die doing anything, come to think about it...you will eventually die regardless!

  • That's the reason I fly hang gliders

  • Sky paraglider, awsome. It recovered on me in 30 feet from a complete front tuk. If I had 20 more feet I would have flown out of it. I believe I had much break on the landing and a hit a bit of gust. Speed is your friend when close to the ground. We straighted the axel and a pilot did his first flight about 30 minutes later on the same rig.

  • Wow scary.

  • Foot Launched at Sunset. That's it.

  • You show me that vid. and ask me to come fly with you? yeah right!
