@tomlolies38 : First of all; water is overrated as a security feature. Water is only safer if you are wearing a vest that inflates when touching water AND you have a dedicated boat in the water that can reach you fast AND get you out of the water fast.
@tomlolies38 : Second; height = safety. We winch up to 1000 meters, ample height to practice whatever you want. If you have 500 meters to spare an experienced pilot has more than enough time to either sort out whatever problem there is or throw the reserve. Hope that answers your questions... ;-)
We'll be back in November. Find me on Facebook to keep in contact.

Great video , But I'm impressed you do infinity with such a low altitude (when you're winched) don't you ? why don't you practice over the water ,?
You have a nice personal airport =D
