Just shut the frenchman up and let me enjoy the crash.

Parachutes are a good thing.

No wonder he crashed! His glider was on fire!
-
Mmmm, now I see why he carries 2 reserves
-
you would think that Yngwie Malmsteen would stop playing his guitar during a spectacular event like this... but no.
-
Did he glide?

@SenorSpode : oh the yokel came back !

@Iaminarwinq You open your mouth but all I hear is "I surrender!" and "Ribbit"...

@SenorSpode : well let's see... AH, USA ! another stupid ignorant from USA ^^

@Random1765 all hg pilots fly with chutes now. but usually only one..and you usualy only deploy one even if y ou have two.

Did I read right earlier that some said it was a little rough conditions for acro that day?
Did that contribute to this?

i think US pilot Jeff O'Brien blogged that the US team was due to fly off Chabre and do a bit of an acro show the same afternoon, but they decided not to - after seeing this guy they decided the air was probably a little bit rough, so yes, i think you read right.

did his 1st chute come out..on its own?
looked like he got control back, before he ended up on' top'....

no, he threw his first reserve himself. he broke an upright apparently, so he wouldn't have been able to recover normal flight.
