A few seconds of hang gliding that is controlled by a cord.

  • OK You have my interest now. What exactly is going on here? The student doesn't have a helmet so I assume there is no chance of crashing. The glider seems to be going fast enough to control. Is this a regular school? Looks promising!

  • When the glider is about to hit the ground, it is stopped with brakes on the guiding cord. I'll post another video of the same experience but with the camera on the student.

  • its hang gliding for retards

  • ...first I've seen of an overhead cable to

    guide a glider from takeoff to landing; at

    first glimpse, the terrain looked awful (for

    free flight). An interesting and distinctive

    way to acquaint learners with being above

    ground with a glider without concerns about

    takeoff technique, airspeed, landing setup,

    bump turns, gusty winds, etc. Curious that

    the rider/pilot didn't seem to check cara-

    biner/hang strap for 'hook-in.'

  • is this basically a zip line or is this thing actually achieving flight
