Hey from a grizzly safety perspective I would say that that 15 ft / s sink would be around 30 miles an hour and it would be extremely difficult to find your way out of that. One thing that we have a problem with in our sport is a lack of hate anger and shame. We see people flying 100 pounds over the insured weight rating of the Wing and the lines. This was a power paraglider. They found him sitting on the ground gone from this world. He had been flying with that big meaty motor to save him from all of his worries for some time and he stretched his lines out 12 mm by having the extra weight on those lines every time over and over. He was within the tolerances. We should hate our beloved friends while they are here to stare at sternly and speak crossley to when we see them fly overweight on the lines. Everybody sees the guy do it one time and thinks he's a big hero the video plays over and over and hits all wonderful look how many safe flights I've seen on my screen. In the real world I hope my beloved friend ari will read this. I bought that absalon 9 and I believe with all my heart that I could take a brand new epsilon nine out of the box and drive it in a rainstorm wringing wet with the holes in the back open to let it drain out and it would fly me back to the Earth kindly and lovingly and I better not push my luck pushing controls and pulled and breaks but if you could just pass out from fear it would probably fly down and let you out of hell where I live in the hay field. My epsilon nine isn't brand new and it is in good shape my instructor fluid with his bare hands he flew it over me so I could take a picture that didn't come out and let's been a great guy reassuring me that my gear is good to go that pilot error is the problem with me. As we fly and where these things out we get more porosity the line lengths change a little. At this point the glider is within trim flying dry but what's going to happen when it gets wet on one side before the other? Moisture would reduce your porosity. When the back end of the glider is wet the brakes put themselves on automatically because of the increased mass is not tolerated well by the rest of the wing. Then we have a mathematical vicious cycle is ugly as a Whirlpool four feet across swallowing a boat full of vegetarians. When the increase weight of the cloth puts on a little bit more weight the velocity of the glider forward through the air price to decrease and allow less Force to lift that heavy break cloth backup off the back of the glider. I hope this can be like a kung fu movie except going backwards you're the master I'm just the idiots and showed up. I'm a potato not a pilot. But I'm a very salty potato because I've cried a lot of tears for my friends wouldn't listen and I hope somebody reads this and takes it too heart. If you get wet on that paraglider fly it with your hands up weight shifts only for your corners if it all possible and keep the velocity as high as possible because if you use those breaks and slow down beyond a certain point, there will not be enough wind to lift the cloth in the back of the glider, at the very low normal speed we fly. You should stand up and your harness spread your arms and legs and catch all the are you can so that the parasitic drag on the potato tips the nose down, and pulled all those pieces of cloth tight pulled all those lines tight with that parasitic drag on that potato down there where they is supposed to be a pilot. There's the problem with risk in our sport. You fly over weight on a wing and you don't look at the stretching of the lines over a. Of time you wear your equipment down a little bit but not too much and everything works out fine for a long time and it gets worse and worse and as we approach the tolerances on string change, we lose the ability to fly with a glider in a wetter and wetter State now in order to fly and have trim we need to be closer and closer to exactly the right everything about the cloth and the lines because the lines have changed enough to distort that beautiful curve that mathematician over there at the advance company had in mind when he had those people so that up and that distortion along with the distortion caused by the digital weight will make but an ugly bastardized version of that guy's beautiful Wing and you'll be lucky if you can get it landed. If you fly on the heavy end of the range, or over the heavy end of the range you need to trade your lines out more off and get them measure more often. Just because you hung under a glider and you are a pilot you might be a potato when it comes to reinstalling lines compared to a guy that had a boss watching him do it the first hundred times. One flying tightwad that was very famous put his own paraglider lines on and they never could determine what failed first but there was a huge sequential failure and I'm absolutely certain that guy put those lines on and did the best he could. But if you got enough money to go all over the world spending cash hotels making videos you got enough money to pay some poor guy that don't make videos that works in a paraglider loft to put those strings on for you. Buy a whole new glider you got the money to do all that stuff if you can still get your favorite wing with less hours on it it's a better aircraft. If you can stand the divorce yourself from emotionalism and sensationalism and positivism and all the other isms and just look at a binary model of paraglider accident. Half of the disaster occurred on the ground. Decisions are made without respect the implications to the longevity of the safety factor. When that guy decided to fly his wing 100 pounds overweight on the lines he made a decision that shorten the lifespan of the safety Factor because those lines begin to stretch and he was 12 mm over and I think he needed eight more to be out of trim. Anybody that wants to argue that I'm not a pilot I'm just a potato even though I cry a salty tear sometimes long after everybody else has quit. If everybody in the paragliding community said I hate to see you walk around with your leg straps unbuckle than that Wing hook to you because it could launch unexpectedly on a whirlwind, shame on you for taking a chance on breaking my heart you being gone over something that stupid. I'm getting in with the cheapest license that covers insurance not pilot proficiency I'm just a potato and I'm cutting every decision on the ground in 1,000 pieces and look for the implications. When you fly heavy on the strings over and over, it makes certain implications about your ability to shake off a little water or your ability to shake off a little stall after you got a little wet and had to fall an extra hundred feet and you only had 90. If you are flying over loaded on the wing and you have anything makes you curve, wet wing, the drive energy forward increases instantly and you fall into a spiral. If you get a tip problem and you don't get on it in time, you may have a lock in spiral dive, the heavier your you were flying on that Wing, the smaller fraction of the wing failing on one side or the other that is required to get you into a dive you can't break with more weight. Aviate navigate it only flies, going straight, and it's worse overweight.
how is the last place you wanna be is on the ground when you see a thundercell ? Isn't it slightly safer on the ground than flying with an thundercell in sight ?
I said you dont want to be near the ground during a gust front. The gust front will only be a few hundred feet deep and if you're high above it, you're safer than near the ground. Safely on the ground before it arrives is great.

Good info, thanks.
Hey guys, it's Ari in the Rain! 🌧
how is the last place you wanna be is on the ground when you see a thundercell ? Isn't it slightly safer on the ground than flying with an thundercell in sight ?

@@AriintheAir ahh OK I misheard thanks for clarifying ari!
Me like when Air post UA-cam videos 😎👍
Wow, that looks a beautiful spot ! Where is it ?
Thanks for taking me hiking with you!
grt advise sir!
Wooow ❤🎉
