  • Very sharp turn with both brake applied?!. If I do a sharp turn like this,I would release one brake completely.

  • The issue with lots of paramotor pilots. Too much brake even on take off. When you're taking off, you want to let your wing accelerate to increase lift. Braking it will not help, it is not an angle of attack control. Here he was turning, to the inner side was already quite slow, then you can see how much he brakes it just before it stalls. Remember fellas, hands up !

  • Hate it when that happens...

  • Clearly a stall, let the wing fly dude!

  • Btw , was is the engine at the left at the beginning of the vdo ??. It looks like a very short winged aircraft !!

  • Clearly too much brakes. look at the 5 last secds of vdo the tail end of the wing is closed . But the wing should have continued to fly, he had enough speed.

    was it a parachutal stall , I think he still had enough air speed to avoid it .

  • nice

  • watch his hands....pulling way to much brake

  • OMG that was really bad. Are you OK? What the hell happened?
