Paraglider novice attempts to take off in strong winds and is saved - NOT - by Captain Hindsight, who knows just what to do (to make matters worse).

This was a beginner with a beginner paraglider wing that was not capable of flying fast enough in the strong winds on takeoff. Yet, in that dumb way we all had when we started flying, he is determined to get airborne much to the amusement of watchers and pilots.

  • its not a beginner wing fault, once he lifted of the ground in 1:10 he used brakes thats why he got back to the ground, if he leave no brakes he would get in the air ...

  • Ahh yes. Making fun of the uninitiated... Brilliant job. LOL
