did the pilot survive?

[takyonxxx]

Yes pilot survived and living in turkey and now flying with new paraglider.

Pilot is me. in this accident if the altidude was too much, i dont know if i lived or dead.

But now there is no problem.

The pilot is me. The glider is very old. 1993 flight design a4. The brakes were near zero level. And the wind was not strong. I think the stall was because of the paraglider was so old and about my weight. 85-114 glider. Me 120kg with glider.

Clearly not the pilot's error.

he flares simple

CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE THE LEFT BRAKE WAS BURRIED AT 22 TO 23 SECS.

Yup, as others have said, old teabag. Get an instructor who'll steer you away from this kind of error and get a new wing, it's cheaper than surgery.

I suppose a glider of that vintage in those colours is likely to be as porous as a tea bag. I think that can cause deep stall problems.

[tommytipitcup]

Looked like it had gone into a deep stall before he did a full stall.

I suppose a glider of that vintage in those colours is probably as porous as a tea bag by now.

Not really surprising it dose not fly well.

Hmm...I'm still learning but could this have been a case of shortened brake lines? If he bought this wing second-hand, the previous owner may have caused the problem as much as this guy did by pulling so much brake - which didn't really look to be that much to me, at least not as much to cause this spin/stall.....or am I talking out of my ass?!!

[soaringman]

when a wings out of wack it can go wacko.

Even if it looks fine

[itripledareyaaa]

i see he got a new wing... i guess your life is worth a few thousand bucks.. hands were above his shoulders until a second before the crash when he pulled a small amount of left brake and the left side stalled, if he had more altitude he would have ended up in a spin... i'm betting you bought a second hand wing to save money..?

[jeremysetdec]

See him pull the left brake to his ass, just before his mysterious spin? Cause and effect. Don't blame the proto-wing, they flew fine, usually, if you don't get them wet.

Good example of why you need to go with the flow, and visualize a complete flight plan.

Looks like he tried to stop!
