They say ghosts haunt the place of their death.If you plummeted to your death in Yosemite,would that be such a bad thing?..Better than a dusty old house or mossy old castle,if you ask me.

Did that landing hurt? lol

Is this still legal? If it is how advanced of a pilot does this take?

Yosemite is without doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been to

When you hangglide do you use your body as a rudder to steer? Because thats what it looked like you were doing.

@dpawkng It'ss difficult to "plummet" to your death. Todays hang gliders automatically stabilize when you stop controlling it.

how much flight time can you get with a jump like that?

AWESOME!!!

What the camera doesn't show is the drop-off once you clear the point. The terrain slopes gradually, like most launches, and then the dramatic drop-off: an extra 4000' of elevation in a split second! That was the most breathtaking aspect of the flight for me.
was this a continuous video? this is amazing. i just started hang gliding at lookout mountain. i want to come here so bad.

How long did the flight last???

15 minutes. The park services only allows us to fly in the early morning when there is no lift.

Great Stuff. God I miss the mountains. Great flight - a bit harsh landing :)))

True! I'm usually really dialed into the Yosemite landing but this time I was a little distracted by the fear of damaging my camera.
