It was an siv clinic to practice difficult paragliding maneuvers over a relatively safe landing (lake). The maneuver I did that caused everything to fuck up is called a full stall. Normally it would be very very bad to stall your glider but in certain circumstances it could help resolve some issues, the catch is you basically go into a backwards skydive while pulling the maneuver. I had never tried it before and was frankly terrified. If I had committed all the way like I should have it wouldnt have wrapped under my foot, but I let up too early. Basically I bitched out but I'll get it next time I go to an siv. I don't skydive but to the best of my knowledge something this would never happen unless you fucked up a lot of things in a lot of ways.

@@saxtonhine4843 thanks for clearing that up. I'm sooo bored living in FL. Traveling to Ireland, or Iceland is fun, but expensive. I recently went snowboarding a couple weeks ago and fell in love. But that's not something I can do every week living in FL. I did try SCUBA since we have plenty of water but my right ear won't equalize. So that's a problem. There's sky diving 40 minutes away from me. So that's something I can do every couple weeks for a rush. But honestly I'm terrified lol. I've been watching what can go wrong videos to be some what prepared. That's how I came across yours.i just don't want a failure that crushes my internal organs when I smack the ground but I'm not dead yet either. Laying there suffering for 5 to 10 minutes is not how I want to go.

@@respond_code3 lol we sound very very alike. I'm in San Diego and am in basically the same boat. Love snowboarding but the closest serious mountain is like 8 hours away, lots of scuba but not entirely my cup of tea, then then there's sky sports which I'm terrified of. The biggest take away I've gotten from flying for a few years is that the vast vast majority of accidents happen because of pilot error. Things don't typically just go wrong by themselves and when they do it's usually so minor that just keeping composure and not doing anything will resolve the issue by itself. The more confident in yourself you are the more safe fun you will have. The less confidant you are the more likely you are to die or kill someone else. If it makes you feel any better all the people I've seen fall out of the air and die on the ground haven't been coherent enough after impact to look like they could process the pain very much.

Thanks buddy! It was a hell of a ride.

Me too from paratrooper short video

So did I..I expected a load of BS... No BS there in the least..You, my friend, are a very fortunate man. You've been given a second chance, don't waste it...

@@istrasoft I had respect when I did my first stall but like here its fear and if u are afraid of something don't do it then it's to early Slow and steady!

I wrapped trashbags around the pad in my harness and then duct taped the seams. It provided some float.

😂😂

😂

Hes with me every day

@@saxtonhine4843 man that gets my anxiety levels up every time I watch this video. You should do a short video explaining what happened.

Truth Is In Nature not sure cause I’m a skydiver, not a paragliding pilot but I’d guess it probably comes down to the pretty high cost of a ram air reserve chute system.

@@jonasghafur4940 Cut away systems and automatic deployment reserves are not that expensive compared to death.

"modern life saving system like skydivers have..." 'sprung loaded reserve... " you my friend should not comment on an activety you clearly don't participate in.

@@Aurora..Borealis Sorry, but one of us has no clue. I'm sure that a reserve stuffed into a day sack is fine for para gliders, but it wouldn't get past the safety officer at a drop zone.

@@digdougedy yes, that's obvious. Stick to jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and leave the flying to us.

It's not luck if you plan it.

To be totally honest it shook me up for awhile. I kept telling myself that it didn't affect me ut it definently put a weird mental block in my head. I also climb a lot and it affected my risk taking skills climbing for awhile. I've got my head back together now and have been flying a few times since. I plan on going back to every day flying when work permits. There is a lot to be said for mental health prior to something like this. Idk how to best deal with it, but pretending it didn't happen probably did more damage then good at the time. Also, when you throw the reserve remember its floppy. I pulled it out and it flopped over in my hand in a way that didn't facilitate throwing it as well as it could have. I'd really sit in a hanging harness and throw it a few times, as annoying as that sounds. Finding out these fine details in the air was shitty lol.

Same, thank god he’s ok

Those were my friends on the boat. They knew shit was going down from the second my reserve throw went bad. Couldn't have asked for a better crew of guys.

Then ur probably doing the same thing the next weekend? Or still today? Then u expect sympathy when it happens again....nope...unless we are at war and troops need to be in a combat zone, parachuting, or anything else is your own damn fault

david forte was your comment implying that this guy would be dumb for going again from a unstoppable cause

@@breakingames7772 nobody cares

Oh yeah. Spring seasons starting!

@@saxtonhine4843 fuck yeah

hitting water quick enough will be fatal

Water is basically same as tarmac at speed, plus you then drown after if still alive and unconscious. So probably worse than landing on grass

Waters Surface tension is like concrete at high speeds

For when this happens.

Originally I did it over a volcano for maximum commitment points

@@saxtonhine4843 LOL

He wrapped his legs in the lines, straightening out your legs won't untangle them

yeah throw it down and catch it as it comes up (NOT)... always throw into the horizon, and if possible away from the canopy.

You throw it to the side...
