http://www.u-turnusa.com Flat Top Paramotor Psycho Powered Paragliding pilot crashes Flat Top PPG into weeds on purpose!!! The worlds best PPG truely can save your butt when you are in over your head!!!! What is being demonstrated in this video is the durability and prop protection the Flat Top paramotor offers. Even flying 1 foot off the ground through 7 foot weeds the Flat Top came through unharmed. With other units the cage would flex back into the prop and the whole thing would blow up. Weeds are used for the demonstration that the Flat Top keeps things out of the prop. With other units there is a very high occurance of injuries where people have gotten their hands & body parts in the prop during falls or accidents. With the Flat Top there is a ton more protection as you can see clearly from the video. What is difficult to see in the video is how hard the unit is crashing through the weeds. Hitting those weeds at up to 40 mph the front of the pilots shins were completely bruised the following day. At Revolution Paramotors we push hard and do things nobody else does to ensure your safety.

  • wow hi m8 that is impressive cool video where ya from ? im trying to learn about this powered paragliding i want to get one myself is it hard to learn how expensive n where do i get one from look at my vids i made a jet powered mountain bike lol i bet my jet engine would push you along nicely now that would sound cool lol

  • I love your jet bike, that is seriously slick. I've thought about using one for a powered paraglider but I'm worried about the exhaust temperature and how much time it takes to go from idle to full throttle. I love to throttle up and down as I skim the ground. Also how long does your bike run on that much fuel?

  • I take it this didn't damage your prop?

  • Nope not a bit. The kevlar netting on the Flat Top totally protects the prop. Still to date no Flat Top customer has ever had a prop strike to cage. This really is an extremely impressive video for those that understand PPGs from the old days.

  • Awesome Video man!!! 2 thumbs up for a major like!

  • FYI: Dell, for your future landscaping projects....they sell much more budget friendly weedwhackers at home depot and other fine hardware stores......

  • You missed Alligator from your list.

  • Great fun until you hit a barbed wire fence, a big rock, an old junk car or refridgerator,stove,a post or some other obstruction. Of course, the pilot has over viewed the area many times, and my caution comes from dirtbike riding where you are stupid if you drag your feet through grass.

    Beware...

  • Kempo fine sir, yes that is an experts only glider but fear not, I can have your wing made to look exactly like it. Give me a call if you have any PPG questions about what to get and where to get it. 801-631-1731.

  • That was a 'semi-hater' trying to look knowledgable by criticism - ignore them ( I know they get under ones skin and we feel we must reply)

    I'm trying to book some tuition and buy a PPG and I really like the skull and cross bones design on your wing ( though it's probably a custom job or an 'experts only' model and not for a newbie like 'moi')

    P.S. What type of martial arts do you do?

    You have the look of a Kendo or full contact Karate 'nutter'!

  • avesome ! Nice but scarry because in grass are ticks :))

  • Excellent. Not ready to lay down the cash for a PPG yet, but one day. Cheers.
