  • I see no point turning camera off when a disaster strikes. Videotape would greatly ease the aftermath

  • Pre-takeoff checks!!!

  • @smelled interesting idea though if you could hold on tight enough throwing the reserve would at least stop the climb and get you heading down

  • Idiot shouldn’t be anywhere near aviation....

  • @TheMissionkill Paragliders fly with reserve chutes. Always one and sometimes two. The problem is they are attached to the harness, and he wasn't!

  • I have never done this, but don't you have reserves like in skydiving.

    He seemed to be high once he got away from the cliff, could he not just have let go and pulled his reserve?

    (It's a serious question, in case it is actually quite a stupid thing to ask).

  • Yes,Kewskii,thats sounds feasable,but keep in mind,our subject was panicking greatly as he lifted off,so his muscles probably locked into a death grip,as he proceeded to shit himself all the way to the rooftops!!!!!LOL

  • the thing to do is: when clear of terrain- let go of the brakes and lean back- head down feet up - the shoulder straps will hold you in, while HOOKING your feet on riser/lines so you dont flip around and become airbore- THEN STRAP IN and lean forward again - get on the controls and fly as normal! while cursing yourself...

  • @magna378 imagine letting go at that hight it wouldnt be pretty and also if u never let go imagine been able to run at 30mph now run into a wall. ouch.

  • fkin hell that is some scary shit.

  • Come on , if you are NOT able to get back in your seat , THROW the damn RESCUE !! While flying forward without any twists, it will inflate easily and slowly brings down the pilot . The middle line, which holds the the pilot squeezes genitals and can cause brutal pain , so don't wait until you pass off !!!

  • I guess they are so good and so dedicated to their craft that pre flight checks are useless. There is a reason you do the boring stuff.
