First, EXC+++ design of the clip, second, my complements on being willing to show the 'arrival' as a note of caution to all others in the sport... The clip shows one of the (many!) reasons instrustors MUST spend a LOT of time ensuring pilots have 1) Checked out landing options BEFORE heading up a hill. 2) Checking out multi options while still high. Etc. NICE Flying!

I'd landed on that paddock many times before on my paraglider alot higher up towards to top of the field - not rocketing it at 70+ kmh - and had never noticed those power lines at the bottom of the paddock - options run out very quickly coming into land on a speed wing

:-) tell me about it (speed wing flying).. Just as you say speed wings (I fly a 12m2 'ground handling' Trainer) are VERY F A S T .... the Trainer is 'twitchy' but does at least glide angle at around 5:1 so gives a lot more options regarding landing I guess!
