Какие травмы получил пилот?

[catwithwings]

У пилота были повреждены остистые отростки (кжется, так) одного из позвонков - легко отделался при таком падении, да и то винов ником травмы оказался глючок в конструкции подвески, не будь его ,всё исчерпаломь бы "лёгким" испугом.

correction, more like 1990-91?

[catwithwings]

You ask about SergeyKataev, or about sderoo? ;)

Sergey is very widespread russian name.

With Stalker to UK there came Aeros pilot and designer Sergey Drobyshev, but not earlier than 1992 because Stalker has been made then.

It's not the wind that got him... it's the fact that he's not paying attention to his flying at all and screwing around with getting his feet in the harness. You can see it very clearly.

Folks need to get it through their head to stop screwing with harnesses when you take off, and PARTICULARLY if the conditions are strong. Folks have been hurt badly from this TOTALLY AVOIDABLE PRACTICE.

As they say in ALL conventional aviation. #1 = FLY THE AIRCRAFT!

EVERYTHING else comes second!

PILOT ERROR ONLY! He have the best help around: 2 Hang Glider Pilots.

1st> THE BIG ERROR: Not enough Pitch regarding the (strong) wing. This could compensate a wing flying to much.

2nd> The Left wing to High, still in the ground.]Look at the horizon at 0'seconds.

3rd > When the wind is strong you 1st want to go far from the cliff. The pilot "slow flies" after the bad Take off.

I hope is Ok.

Fly Safe.

@AviationDad ...Most of my ridge launches have been from a slot in the tall trees...had I tried to get my feet into pod harness boot, I almost certainly would have had a few tree landings or worse.

@luizszt la verdad luis solo espero que el piloto este bien sin importar de quien fue el error. los 20 años de experiencia que tengo me han enseñado " que mas vale dejar de volar un dia, que toda la vida" todo tiene su tiempo y su lugar. he estado esperando condiciones muchas veces por mas de 4 o 5 horas para luego desarmar el ala e irme para la casa, a veces no vale la pena arriesgar tanto ni la vida ni el ala.

..... educational video!!!!!

Check out the guy on the right wing- he doesn't let go for a few seconds, induces the first turn...

Con esas condiciones, creo q habría sido mejor conservar la mano izda.en el montante y picando unos metros mas.

[HJESUH]

Creo q no es q el q sujeta el plano dcho. tardará en soltar, es q el izdo. se levantó y el q lo sujeta piensa q es mejor solta pq ya estaba saliendo. El piloto corrige, pero se empeña en meter las piernas y se distrae, no picando lo necesario. Probablemente, el viento ya fuerte d por si, tenía además, rachas fuertes d la izda. por lo q por segunda vez le entro una d ellas, pillandole con el ala demasiado colgada para lo q las condiciones requerían, distraido con el arnes y le vence por cao...

[DrumnBassWorld]

so much wind ...idiot!!! coucil: dont hang glide like this lol
