  • Hi Dave, this was crash seemed so unlucky.. like your only "crime" was to get tangled on that back wire for a split second

    glad you weren't injured

    I do want to comment though on helmet choice, I personally trust a full face protecting one. I know yours is very cool (and very common with experienced pilots). but this protection may be useful

    here not slamming your face is were you did get lucky

    another hazard is having the face shoot into a front wire to get slashed

    thanks so much for posting!

  • I did slam my face

    Yes full face helmets are safer

    No I will not wear a full face helmet

  • yeah i kind of missed that slam on the video.. but now that you mention it i guess you can notice it.

    fair enough Dave. wont ask you to elaborate on that one.

    looking forward for your next production! i love watching your vids

  • bent the downtube slightly with my face. Actually I don't think a full face would have helped as the tube hit me in the nose / upper lip area.

see all

  • Your lack of profanity is commendable! Glad you are fine old friend...

  • look to the water: you can see a gust moving over the water (brown spot near shore), coming in to you.

  • more concentration at the time of the change of hands, but did not damage anything in the hang gliding and that's good luck my friend because the blow was hard and dangerous.

  • clear video. what camera you got mounted mate?

  • hi Dave!

    is your glide ok after that?

    if so. i´m interested on it...

    let´s talk1

  • Hi Dave!

    I take a look at the hang glidimg org and find out your glide...

    send me a email as soon as possible... thanks and good winds

  • That place looks like a beautiful place to fly, I hope your face and your glider are ok

  • Nicely done... ie, you didn't even bend a downtube!

  • the protection is thick and wide on those.. but you obviously could be right for this case.

    the most important thing is that you'll keep nailing your more common sweet landings!
