Rupture du delta de Frédy Bircher lors de son 3ème run. Tout c'est bien terminé, c'est un des câbles latéraux qui à cassé en pleine ressource à env.120kmh pour un looping.
These machines CAN handle the forces IF they are in perfect condition and everything is done corrrectly. Either he pulled up too hard or a part was worn and about to fail. It is not uncommon to pull 5 or 6 G-s, and this kind of loading will quickly point out a weak part!
Rupture of the hang glider of Frédy Bircher at the time of its 3rd run.
According to him it is the bar of control which would have broken, but after having seen its wing, it would seem that it is cables it side left which broke on the level of the leading edge inside the greenhouses cables (Talurit).
respect to the pilot....

The pilot has a rock solid nerves that he was able to deploy a parachute in such a merry-go round. The rotation is terribe fast.
