Catastrophic Event !

This event took the life of the pilot of the lower glider, the orange canopy.
Clearly an event that is to be remembered for the nature of this unneccery accident.
No time for reserve deployment. The pilot of the orange canopy is strugling with the G forces and is in a state of shock and does not manage to deploy his reserve.
Also, the proximity to the ground did not leave him with enough time to react.
The pilot above is just about to deploy, still not enough altitude.

really this kind of shit really pisses me of.. why the fuck people fight and insult each other on youtube ? can't u just be peaceful ? is that to much to ask ?

Humanity is completely lost!

I always was wondering why this doesn´t happen much more often. On YT there are so many vids tha show LOTS of gliders all in one place (at departure) - well I´m not a glider but I think they should give each other more time to make distance after takeoff before they take off themselves.

@tatazike Why don't you start by example with no swearing!

The pilot in the orange wing (an Advance) could have thrown his reserve immediately after the collision, that's what you have to do. He wasn't exposed to G's until later.

Don't wait, throw reserve in any incident below 100m

@iPlayAC No it just took his life, according to the description.

@imprtwrx First words "USA Rocks" Buhahah

[MrBat000]

oooh...is he ok?

[imprtwrx]

All you people grow the fuck up, USA Rocks, and so does Germany, its a very respectful and clean country, a lot more than some places here in America, unfortunately a lot of Americans have became ignorant discraces to our society which make us look bad, if everyone maybe stepped up and did something to help this country whether by picking up trash or helping someone, it would make a difference. If everyone grows to hate eachother we wont last much longer. PPG RULES!!

@DjLumbee yeah I agree but people should stop and think that opinions are opinions, even if they disagree with other people opinions.. just saying because for me it makes no damn sense at all.

@tatazike Throw 30 completely random people from any age group into a small room and present them with a specific topic. Chances are they are going to disagree about something, and with the internet, anonymity makes the slightest disagreements exaggerated to laughable lengths. Whatever can happen, will happen-- especially in cyberspace.
