Paragliding crash negative spin / full stall to the ground, after overbrake by pilot action, thermal and back wind. When you are near to the ground everything goes faster, than when you training that on in high altitude, where is much time for recover. More often, when you are near to ground, there is no time for corrections, hands up and w8, or find your own tree for "safety" landing. Fly safe, for fun, do not choke your glider on min. sink, or overbrake one side in hard long turns like this. No matter what type or category is your wing , it will always recover slower than you think. But more often there are better days like this;)

  • Are you ok?

  • @cruelangeltesis Yes, as you can see in my last video from dolomites ;) But may be now i fly little safer in low altitudes, with little more respect to my comp. wing ;)

  • Yikes, and that is why you fly a Cima K2 lol. Similar performance but ridiculously safe and will exit a spin so fast people watching wouldn't know it spun. Of course getting it to spin is ridiculously difficult. People move to less safe gliders far to quickly when they don't realize there are really extreme high performance wings still in the beginner class of safety. When crap happens it is too late to be wishing you were on a Cima K2.

  • @imasuper0308 Hi I has no prob. with venus3, it was my false, after that i takes new one, it is high performance wing with stand. safety for its class, it is for comp XC pilots. I fly only 100h/year, not enough for sharp EN-D i can`t use all it`s potenial, but like it;) For recreational pilots as me, EN-C vega, antea, sigma are the best choice, in safety/performance. I don`t like std. class wing's. They are often slow against the wind, and do not talking with me enough ;)

  • yo bro,,,,,you were fighting it way too much. You were increasing drag by jerking on your risers,,,and slowing the wing down, creating the accident. Sorry.

    

  • @tailwheelflier NP. Yes, all the way, i said that in title, i created this accident at all, like many other pilots, by overbrake one side by my input and lift, then i try to correct the negative, it is good on high altitude but bad in this case, it is my false, near to the ground is no time for corrections, it is always bettrer to let the wing fly from negative in any direction alone. and only after that, correct the sym/asym. overshoot.

  • too many smiley's in the comments, just my two cents... you were lucky mate.. respect these (what you call thermals) especcialy so close to the ground.

    But as a paraglider.. Glad that you made it..

  • glad you made it out ok. . .

  • @ssflyer25  Really? Just as far on a DHV 1? I think not.

  • Thank you for this video, Im sure that your shared experience will help other pilots aswell.

  • Thank you for this video.

  • The trees....haaaaa the "Angel Trees" .

  • nice spelling of beautyfull btw

  • Thank you for sharing your video -- it helps everyone be safer pilots. We do not always learn from the examples of others ... but we should, as here.

  • Ive got over 1000 hours in pg and still fly dhv1 why u may ask. Its not the glider its the pilot. I can go just as high just as far as all that performance crap without killing mysself.

  • @TOMASMBASK Good to know you are ok and sharing your knowledge to new pilots!
