During a strong day in El Yelmo, Spain Anthony Green suffers a large deflation at 5 meters up. He is unable to regain control of the wing before impact. Fortunately he suffers no injuries from the crash yet it was a lesson to remember. All pilots should watch this film and not make the same mistake...

More brake after the first deflation (to check the surge) could have helped the landing to be more in deep stall, but it was just too fast and too low. -An

I always try to learn from the incidents of others, but trying to figure out from the "not make the same mistake" comment. Seemed like just a TERRIBLE place to get a big collapse, not sure what I can learn from this other than...Don't fly in turbulent air. Did he make some mistake with his inputs that are difficult to see in the video? Would love to know and avoid this type of scenario.

True.

I don't know what he could have done, that low and with that violent collapse.

@albedran2 This colapse was way to fast for anyone to control ! even you..

If you fly in strong thermic conditions expect trouble !

[baldeagle1195]

@winterka100 there is nothing wrong with paragliding, I do both sports but in the right flying conditions.. Iv'e been tossed up side down in a hangglider so don't think you are more safe flying them. Both sports are fine in the right conditions, fly in strong thermals expect the odd problem now and again !

[baldeagle1195]

@PersonCommon The pilot had time to PLF and didn't ? pleased he was ok though.

A little break at bout 10% use to help a bit to prevent collapsing in turbulence.

Click the PDMC there.

The only aircraft that I know of where having the wing collapse and basically disappear is taken for granted, with six or seven people commenting on how THEY would have avoided or corrected the situation, all with different ideas. All of them sitting at their computer with plenty of time to think about it. Going by such confusion on which recovery action is needed, I think most of them would have crashed just the same. Dump you Para(plegic) gliders and get a hang glider.

@horacyus Yep! I think it's a SOL Torck2...

[albedran2]

I think keeping some controll all the time would help, you can see the front get advanced immidiatly before the frontal.

well that sucks!
