This is a video of a paramotor having around a 70% collapse. This shows the integrity of the equipment we fly. If you are talking with someone from around Salt Lake and they tell you that their equipment is the only equipment safe to fly, run away because you are being lied to, and this video proves it. There are a lot of good dealers with quality equipment that will not lie to you only to sell their stuff. Shop around. Now go fly.

  • What is a good reflex wing/company. Buying soon. tim

  • @timandrew1 I have a paramania revolution, I really like it.

  • WPPGA is a one man organization to promote one and only one persons inflated ego. Since you bring it up the point of the mountain is a great place to learn and advance your paragliding skills, but you should never get a paramotor from the manufacturer in Salt Lake.

  • Tupper, I was not the pilot, I was given the video by the pilot. People ask what happens when the wing folds, do you die. Well this video clearly shows the passive safety of the momentum wing, and most wings for that matter. I agree, o not fly on the leeward side of anything. But the best thing is, it shows that The idiot in Salt Lake is a liar for all of his rantings.

  • Le side .

    

  • FYI you can't fly that close to Morro rock legally. Also paramotors are prohibited south of the inlet into Morro bay and the local soaring club doesn't want you on the state park or Montana de Oro state park. Mainly because the average paramotor pilot does idiotic shit like in this video. Kthanks

  • Nice video man just realized ive tried to contact you via talkppg and paramotor mag no worries prob out flying like a boss nice vid

  • Timandrew1 paramania is up there amongst the best, that's what I fly and I'm in love with it!!

  • @Galvoflysoz whos this one guy you guys are bad mouthing?....lol

  • @PGseanB maybe you should go fly a reflex wing instead of listening to One idiot out there and see why so many experienced pilots and normal pilots are using them, I will never go back to my PG wing for paramotoring now NEVER.

  • @Galvoflysoz

    Agreed, I have had two full frontal collapses on full reflex wings flying in pants weather, both recovered before I could even think about it, one was on full speed bar, and caught on tape... (just look for fly another day trailer on the tube) Reflex is the way forward.... its just taking a few people some time to cotton on. you will get there in the end.. :-)

  • Great video, shows how safe the sport is even when a huge mistake is made. I fly the same glider and have never experienced a collapse like that but I've never flown in that level of turbulence.
