  • and what happened to the PG ?

  • Slight graze on his hand and shaken up. Managed to get down after about 20mins due to there being so much lift around.

  • why did he deploy? his wing looked ok... was it accidental?

  • It was post mid air with a paraglider. The glider was spinning and having only 400ft or so above take off meant it was a snap decision as I didn't expect it to recover.

    The wing was fine and the chute is packed away for another day....

  • Why the deployment was the glider un flyable or the pilot injured ?

  • This man speaks the truth, for I have seen a copy of the original patents. :D

  • Glad you are OK - who hit who?

  • What do you mean 'about time'??? They've been use on hang gliders since about 1978.

  • I was thinking meat saver till I read it was Betty's chute.

  • i love betty phiffer she makes those chutes

  • Very nice vid. It looked like the pilot was able to climb into his control frame??
