He already broke his hip doing the exact same thing at Bad apples a few years ago. Took off middle of the day in highwinds. Pulled a shit ton of break to turn downwind it spun the glider and him right into the ground
I took a 10 day course down in Florida. Best 1750 I’ve ever spent. Decided not to buy a rig, knowing me I’d die in an accident, or worse, never use the equipment at all.
This is the textbook definition of stupid. This is the same guy who broke his hip at Bad Apples a few years ago. He broke it doing pretty much the same thing he is in the video. He took off Midday in high winds. Tried to pull a shit ton of break and turn downwind. He basically spun the glider into the ground.
That guy is a disaster in the making, I hope he changes his mind and choose another type of sport. Sports like this demands maximum discipline and focus, there’s no room for this type of shenanigans
Bro that whole thing was so freaking risking from the start I hate when people do dumb stuff in aviation if you die if going to be in a horrific way so the people watching you are going to have ptsd from seeing you transform in confetti and the people that clean up your body are going to be crying because they have to scrape or power wash you off of what you hit
Wow… Sketchy skills, almost wrapped it up the second he hopped in the saddle.. If that were a more advanced glider he might not have been as fortunate.
I watched this video at least six times and I don't see a single leaf / pine needle / spanish moss swaying or moving at all. The lake behind him as he launches is super still. While there might be some minor rotor coming over the trees, this is simply bad decision making / technique on the pilot's part.
Have any of you considered that maybe, just maybe, attempting to fly these lawn mowers with a wing strapped to your back when your humidity is literally 80%+ and your brain cell count collectively struggles to reach double digits is a less than intelligent idea? I’m gonna guess no.
This guy's bag of luck is running low 😬
Seen this type quite a bit lately.

I forsure thought that was gonna be a face plant😂
Jeah, the guy can run.
So did the dude running😂
The ignorance of this guy is really dangerous, he’s alive by a miracle 🤦🏻♂️
no throttle control at all

I'm a little bit confused. You say best money ever spent but not worth buying 1
Same here. Too risky. Skydiving is safer.
@@Steve-yg5dq Skydiving is falling, this is flying.
@@cloudstreet8214 I also have an emergency parachute and my parachute doesn't collapse.
Where in Florida
If not a good day for flying. It was for a educational video. Glad you landed safe
Why is it that everyone's having so much fun & I'm sitting here watching it on my phone? 🤟🐻❄️
I think it would be safer to say that everybody's watching on their phone and a few people are having fun
You can change that my man

This makes me so happy, love a sketchy video

When you try to die but it's just not your time. Lol
This is also how Grant Thompson died. The guy in this video looks like he could've had a similar fate at least 3 times during this video.
That guy is a disaster in the making, I hope he changes his mind and choose another type of sport.

At how many seconds in the video there was a collapse
Wind and 🌴
If that was rough air I'd hate to see this guy is rougher air. lol It was calm, sorry, it just was.

Painful watching these reckless amateurs
Aint this how grant thonpson died lmao
Under powered 💯
Might try that somewhere with less trees?
Like where, Mars?
@@jkhsdjkhfjkhh3 Like a big field with no trees, Einstein.
or fewer trees.
Esa vela es muy rápida, y estan saliendo de un lugar donde hay muchos rotores.
Playing near trees with a paraglider is not a good idea. Even a little wind can generate enough turbulences to make the wing collapse.
Some can and some not....
Going against the wind to aggressively
Tooooooo, you fol!
Wow…
Sketchy skills, almost wrapped it up the second he hopped in the saddle..
If that were a more advanced glider he might not have been as fortunate.
Rotor coming off the trees
Bro was full send no matter what
Not a bird. Why is he flapping
The pilot may be a little too husky for that paticular sport.
Holy those brakes are so low he’s asking to die
Rough air? The trees aren't even moving 😂
looked like a 10 beer send it
Get it together
He about ate it up a couple of times.... But that's a really cool way to have fin or travel a few
nope...nope...nope
Спуточка нех на одном месте летать. И подвеску отстроить надо нормально
Get this man a lottery ticket
Great recoveries. Practice pays.
Dude Nick you forget what the ground feels like....shheeshhh narly
Rough air? You mean tattoo'ed air? There is no rough air here. Only rough flying.
Paramania wing with a Air Conception frame mounted with a Moster 185. That can only be Nick!!! 😂
You got it!
looks like bit of rotor from the trees
That old glider may need re-trimmed
Looks like the trees were creating some structure interference
Its called mechanical turbulence and it kills people sometimes
@@banjotheman1 The FAR / AIM calls it structure interference
May need a bigger field for that fella.... With less trees
bad choices
OMFG this is hard to watch
Man, does that look dangerous!!
He buried the brakes on take off. No.
Guy has skills. I think the crosswind in that place was off the charts for the parachute to behave like that.

While there might be some minor rotor coming over the trees, this is simply bad decision making / technique on the pilot's part.
Video can be very deceiving. There were 100 pilots there not flying because the wind at 100ft was 18+ mph.
Retire that wing already Nick!
It's not the wing,it's poor control of both wing and throttle.It is actually the type of wing that saved him by not fully stalling.
Big boy needs more wing/ more power.
Possible rotor wash in that area. Once he gets high above the trees he gets a bad draft.
No. He needs LESS power. Zero, to be precise. Fucking noise he makes, YUCK!
😖😨😰😱 Down now.
Return tomorrow
Wow didn’t know a flyers fan could do anything
Got to much faith in that fan 😅
Tooooooo, you fol!
@@voornaam3191Thank you! Best comment of the day.
Oh my
No it doesn’t
Still trying to test out that hip? Not my cup of tea.
Dead man flying....
Oh I miss Cyprus
How Grant Thompson died in 2017
Got it!!!
Close
This guy clearly lacks some training
😮
Lmao bruh just doesn’t have it like he used to
You need skis 😅
Balls
Wow
I wander if he is Palestinian.
Risky business
😳
Horrible pilot, takeoff and landing was bad. And if he knew how the winds were he shouldnt be flying tree top level because of the rotor.
Why are you even in such crappy air? FAIL!
Take a few more lessons 🫤
너무 소음이 시끄러워

The sky gods are happy with any sacrifice 😂
How not to fly video
Pretty gay
This is why I bought a dirt bike instead…. I had interest in this… but wing collapse videos scared me away…
Lots of wires there
Bad, bad decision
