My first time Hang Gliding turned into a near death experience as my safety harness was never hooked to the Glider. For 2 Min. 14 seconds I had to hang on for my life! The landing was a rough one, but I lived to tell the story.
NOW AVAILABLE!!!!
Read my new book on the whole story! From My first white knuckle flight, to the viral video and then back to Switzerland to run off the same mountain for my redemption flight.

Good that you survived that one.
You win the internet comment of the day.
And what about the instructor who didn't follow simple protocol? he's damn lucky as well because if it was a different student it might not have ended as well as it did. I don't know about in Switzerland but in the United States that would be considered murder by depraved indifference.
my brain can't even fathom the incompetence of this pilot
Would be really interesting to know what caused the slip. Was his mind on a breakup/hangover/focussed on another threat and got distracted?!
@@Rookie7219 people make mistakes. I don't care how good you think you are. statistically people will eventually fuck up. personally had that been me. Id go easy on him but that's me. no need to sue because you are still alive and accidents happen or the "no harm no foul" methodology works well
@@justins21482 Yeah of course, couldn't agree more :)
I am very curious as to exactly what caused the mistake though, there must have been a factor there somewhere.
@@Rookie7219 what caused the slip was his failure to follow a written checklist. Everyone thinks they can memorize the whole thing and thats when complacency kicks in and fucks you up the ass.
@@justins21482Bullshit. No room for an error like this as a pro. This is why checklists exist

First comes "Objective failed" then new objective :)
As a life long pilot, instructor, examiner, it is beyond my understanding how any flight in any form of aircraft can take place without a standard pre-flight check.
Hell, even without a standard pre-flight check, it is unfathomable how he could forget THAT. This is not some small detail that he may have overlooked by not going strictly by the pre-flight check book. This is something that someone who knows nothing about hang gliding would think "OK...is everybody actually harnessed into the glider?"
@@FUGP72Lmfao literally tho the most crucial detail of everything here is if you're attached to the glider lmfao. Dude absolutely needs to be banned from ever instructing gliding again lol
It's fake y'all watch it again! He is totally standing on a trapeze bar! NO need for a PRE-flight check when the whole thing has been PRE-fabricated!!!
@@heatherhunt7733 Let me guess...The Earth is flat and the moonwalk was fake.
It doesn't take a genius to rewatch the video and see for themselves. Watch it again and you will see that at around 53 seconds the man kicks out some sort of trapeze-like bar that he stands on for the remainder of the flight. It doesn't take much to watch an actual real video of someone else taking off and then comparing the two videos. I'm not looking for money or clout i'm simply just calling this man out to be a fake. Who gives a shit if the world is flat or round? That has nothing to do with the fact that this man FAKED this video and EVERYONE fell for it INCLUDING myself!
Just listened to the How I Survived Podcast. Aside from your super human physical and emotional strength, you are an amazingly kind and forgiving person. To hear that there was no anger, blame, or lawsuit involved here is, well, just awesome! So glad you survived, Chris!!! We need more people like you in this world!
So true.. i remember getting into a bad car accident with a friend of mine. We were on a back road in Connecticut in the rain and slid into a tree. I got pretty banged up and lawyers wanted me to sue my friends insurance OVER AN ACCIDENT. Greed has destroyed so many things.
@@LaurenMiddleton28 well that's the job of the lawyers. They have no clue about the nuances of the situation, and you guys being friends have nothing to do with them.
@@LaurenMiddleton28 My father was having a divorce with my mother. He went to a lawyer to do the necessary paperwork. She (the lawyer) started a pitch how he can sue my mother for everything she has and let's do it right now. He told her to fuck off and left.
@@LaurenMiddleton28 ….if your friend skidded on a wet road they were going too fast, they were ignorant of the prevailing road conditions, which is their job to know. Car tyres are designed to be perfectly safe and work well within certain limits on wet roads….Skidding off a wet road is definitely driver error. They might just as well have attacked you with a mallet and bashed you up, they did pretty much the same thing with their car. While you’re at home hobbling around suffering pain for the rest of your life they’re out in their car playing roulette with other people’s lives. And in a couple of years time they’ll move home and you’ll never see them again. Meanwhile you’re still suffering. Give me the moneeeeey!!!
Yep we need more people to let people who fail to do their job and almost get people killed get away Scott free. I mean who cares if you almost died, or if the instructor possibly actually kills someone the next time. That instructor deserves a beating, to be fired and never allowed to teach paragliding to the public ever again. Bottom line period.
Remember kids, upper body strength pays off
Can you make an alternate history where this guy fell to the ground, but it turned out that he was actually Superman, kind of like the movie Unbreakable.
Can somebody round this guy up and put him back in his channel?

This happened to me while parasailing in florida after chemo. Was so skinny they sent an extra person up with us for the extra weight. I slipped out of the harness like 10 seconds into it and the boat driver never noticed lol. Was still super fun and an awesome way to celebrate beating cancer. The extra person they sent up with me was on vacay because he had just gotten a terminal cancer diagnosis and I was there because I had just beat it. Was a really strange but meaningful situation for both of us. I'm sure none of yall really care though, this video just made me think of that so i rambled lol.
Congrats to you! Great story!
Why do cancer people always bring up their cancer? They're worse than vegans, I swear!
All that effort from the hospital staff, only for you to go and do something dumb like that. Just kidding dude, take care!
Incredible!! Your grip strength was amazing, especially considering the situation and the added stress. Most folks wouldn't have held past 10 seconds. Watching the video was scary. You're a tough dude. Good work hanging on and staying cool.

I'm puzzled as to why the guy didn't land where the first lot of buildings were just after take-off? Credit to you, holding on like that for as long as you did - amazing. Glad you survived.
I think he meant to. I'm just guessing, but I think the weight of the passenger is making the glider turn left. And also, there's wind.
To be more precise: Its weight of the passengers Balls.
It looks like the pilot first concern was to rise him up and he missed the spot.
cause the panicked pasanger wouldn't stop grabing at him
@@DexM47extra weight made it turn left...then keep turning left until you're heading back up the mountain!
I heard the podcast and had to come watch. And to think the bisness owner deleted the proof...so glad u got the video back. U did amazing!
I'm a Private Pilot for 40 years now. Checklist, checklist, checklist! I don't care what you're flying. Use it!
bingo.. as a rc pilot i always go through my stuff making sure things are working right before flight and after .. all it takes is a small mistake to a big one..
Exactly, this sort of thing just shouldn't happen.
Funny thing is we are all supposed to check the conditions of any vehicle we own before driving. I know in the Model "T" world its a big deal, because they rattle a lot and nuts go loose. Its not fun if your doing 40MPH and the front end comes apart.
Steven Swallers I read an article back in 76 77, It was in Barbara Tuffy's 1001 questions and answers about nature.? There's was a paraglider who fail to check the wind conditions, down around San Diego? or maybe a little bit north of it I forget, He took off,from this cliff, with the Santa Ana winds really strong that day,, a 747 pilot radio the air traffic control tower at 35,000 feet that they just witnessed a paraglider still rising in altitude, as they went by. I agree with you Mr Swallers check everything 3 times and one more time just for insurance.
@@daleslover2771 is paragliding that high really a bad thing? :)
The pilot made a critical error by not attaching me to the glider.'
Understatement of the century.
The pilot after: "Just a prank, bro."
is this really the case ? i have no experience in gliding but it seems kinda wired that u would give such a important task to another person or in any case not double check the attachment... even if it should be the task of the pilot... blindly trust some1 to do this is wrong.
@@kmart111 of course it is the pilot's responsibility - they know what the straps are, where they should attach and so on. You don't want the person who has no idea playing "guess what to attach to today". Of course, asking the pilot to show you how you're held on as a double-check might not be a bad idea, though it's tough to think that clearly if you're trying something scary for the first time.
Trust me, I'd have slapped the living shit out of the pilot for not landing quickly.
I think he's being really generous with how he handled the whole thing, i believe aside from suing him I'd have probably knocked the crap outta him in some adrenaline fueled rage.
Btw i would definitely be suing the guy but only because i genuinely believe I'd be very traumatised by that whole thing and the pilot despite getting him down was massively negligent in allowing that situation to occur.
You are incredible for holding on and surviving this, in the face of unimaginable stress & pressure- your very life depending on a hand grip lasting two and a half minutes. Incredible. I’m so glad you made it. 👍🇬🇧
The view is breathtaking. A shame the tourist couldn’t enjoy it as he was struggling to remain alive
When a pull-up becomes a life skill.
Lol, he didn't even do one pull up
Samuel Underwood so true
Must be a cross fitter
lol this is why i do a little bit of pull ups just incase i have my hands on the edge of a cliff and if im not strong enough to pull myself up ggg
this is probably a time where it would be good to be a rock climber or calisthenics athlete.
It's amazing what the human body can do when the brain tells it "We are about to die; forget the safeguards and give me everything right now." Adrenaline is a hell of a thing.
Yeah, it goes, forgot about bone and muscle tissue damage (that would have been irreparable if not for modern technology) and just release all restrains

Comment of the week for me.
Congratulations!!!
Damn, i got emotional seeing you hang on to your life. Massive respect. You did not give up. So much respect.
woman moment
OMG, amazing strength to hold on this long plus holding on with only one hand at one time!!! I literally held my breath during the whole video. Thank God you are ok and great humor!
"I literally held my breath during the whole video"
No you didn't.
The cars peacefully driving around the beautiful bend in the road have absolutely no idea of the life-and-death drama unfolding above their heads... The world is surreal that way.
Driving is already life threatening, even more so if they get distracted by a life threatening situation above their heads
Viva Frei I often wonder that when flying, you look down at millions of lives, all backgrounds, people getting good news, bad news, first kiss, studying for interviews, worried for loved ones. I know it’s not space exactly but even from that height you can feel a protective warmth for our fellow human. Equally yes, we have little idea of what’s going on above
@@gazebo935 you missed the point. in that case everything is life threatening. while typing this your phone could have exploded.
@@adodoes8770 no I'm saying that being distracted while driving is a very common way to get into an accident, it's probably better that all the cars driving peacefully below didnt notice a guy hanging
@@gazebo935 true but you started with: driving is already life threatening
A few things.
1. Holy mother balls.
2. I'm glad you're ok.
3. I really appreciate your sense of humor. I literally laughed out loud at the "I didn't enjoy my first flight" line. Good job for not ruining this person's life by dragging out and blaming them publicly. Honest mistakes happen and you seem like an awesome person to handle it this way. Kudos!

@@yumbonumbo3847 I ..... don't want to die
Easy one of the very best videos on UA-cam, despite the seriousness of the situation, the humour within the video has me doubled over every time I come back and watch. Top man!
Again, respect for thinking of doing it again! As a brother in orthopaedics, I hope it worked well for you. I'm told no one can hang onto a bar for three minutes - well done! Hope he lost his license!
The moment you realize the hang glider isn't going to try a quick emergency landing but taking the scenic route down. *Gulp*
It was probably the only option.
Lol ikr I was thinking like why didn’t he just crash land right there. In a very similar case a guy couldn’t hold on long enough n fell to his death.
@@picklejuice6699 it's literally says in the video that he couldn't control the glider....
@@Mrbfgray The pilot was obviously trying to make a right turn to land near that first group of houses, but with most of his passenger's weight hanging from the left side of the control bar he's lucky he could manage anything that wasn't left of straight.
@@stevepseudonym445 Which begs the question why he didn’t try making a left turn 180 degrees towards the hillside instead of heading down in to the valley (well I know why, because it was an intense and unexpected situation)
That was probably the longest 2 minutes of his whole life.
also the most painful
It was the longest two minutes of my life just watching
he won the 100 seconds game
Or it could have been the shortest 30 seconds.
2 minutes and 20 seconds...
I’d love to hear the conversation between the two of them. I can’t imagine how terrifying it was for both but especially the passenger.

jmsmorley , lol, right😬
I'm a tandem hang gliding instructor. I have logged about 1000 hours of tandem flight time. I am so sorry about what happened to you. It is inexcusable that the pilot didn't do a hang check to make sure you were clipped in and all the straps were straight. The pilot should have his rating pulled or resign from ever flying tandem again. On a funnier note, I know of a man who had planned a tandem flight with his dog. In his case, he did hook his dog into the glider. Unfortunately, he forgot to hook himself in. He launched his dog off into the air and he fell to the ground. The dog flew around solo for a few minutes and eventually crashed back to earth. The dog was in good shape. Very unfortunate about your wrist and arm. I wish you a good recovery.
David Engel that story is definitely worth a few more likes!
Thank you for the laugh
So the dog was a better pilot than the owner? Lol. Maybe it was just a sympathy crash to make his owner feel better about himself.
Now I need to see a solo hanggliding dog before I die
Anyone else notice that at 3:00 the pilot is directly over a fence post?
Thanks for the humorous captions. This was hair-raising to watch. So glad you recovered and have a healthy funny bone.
Excellent job hanging on man! Glad you're safe!
DUDE!! Respect!! You handled that beautifully, and your lighthearted attitude about the whole situation makes this even better! Respect X2!
Lol handled it beautifully? Maybe. As an instructor that shouldn't have happen in the first place. "Goes skydiving, shit forgot to strap the parachute," now you end up free falling to death. Should always double check your gear before attempting anything!
I'm pretty sure this video was posted by the passenger, which is who I was complementing. I completely agree that a tandem pilot shouldn't ever let this happen. (I'm a glider pilot and a licensed skydiver myself, so the importance of pre-flight check is not lost on me.)
Its a gr33n scr33n hoax...slow speed to .25- you can clearly see the computer graphics. Watch the "hanger" his outline is wonky.
Now make an impression of him please
Wow the guy with the good voice is here damn
Heading back to Switzerland in late September to take my first flight since this mishap. I can't wait!
Safety first!
Good Luck!
I wish you all the best. Have fun and let us know how it goes. Blessings.
What's next? Riding in a car without a seat belt? Skydiving without a parachute? Going to outer space without a space suit. You sir are a bad ass and an Original OG.
I've been wondering If the Swiss authorities have disciplined the pilot in any way..
0:55 pilot wanted you to get your money's worth. He's like, "hang on, were going for it!"
That guy is a BOSS. Two minutes, 30 seconds hanging on with no harness!! Damn, I'd be dead after 1 minute. He should be in the thug life hall of fame. I bow to you sir.
@Abyyss3344 tbf, the amount of adrenaline kicked a lot more biochemist events on his body that abled him to do that, when you do a chin up you are not fighting for your life so the conditions different.
@Abyyss3344 Really it shouldn't have come to that. Instead of trying to hang on by hand, he should have tried to lock his arm into one of the attached harnesses so that the grip strength doesn't come into play.

Can confirm: survived headshot because I was freakin amped.

Talk about a Dead Hang Record.
What's the Blade meister doing here. What's good bro.
Definitely had a bit of incentive.
One arm!
Over 2 minutes... that's INSANE.
I think the pilot used his left hand to help him keep grip around the pole. Still... Crazy this happened.
I continue to revisit. I think I'm the only one or of the few who thought this was hilarious!! Not that you were hurt, but the narrating, the editing, the way your first trip became a daredevil stunt. This is definitely in the top 5 of my all time You Tube favorites!! I'll be back. Best wishes!
Wow. Heard your story on WWTL podcast today. Thank you for sharing this story!
This is proof that under adrenaline, our body can do marvelous things, Dude tore his tendon before he lost his grip, if it was in the gym you would have lost the grip long ago even if you badly wanted to mantain it.
The thing is:
There is no alternative. Either you hang on, or you die. These are the only two options in those situations and you hang on for sure as long as you can, no matter how much pain goes through your body.
Looking death into the eye in that moments are like no other. The amount of adrenaline you generate is at its peak.
Yep, people have been able to lift cars under pure adrenaline, its crazy what the body can do.

I've never been so focused on one hand in my life.

This and the 2 small planes bumped mid flight video, both carrying parachuters
Thats a bad yelp review for sure
Funny but true glad the instructor lived.
Very fortunate to be alive. I witnessed a solo hanglider pilot launch unclipped at the bowl by the London Gliding Club at Dunstable Downs. Luckily he dropped about 6m onto the grassy slope and was uninjured. His glider crossed the bowl without him and hit the opposite side of the bowl. The impact was very sharp and metallic. The pilot retrieved the glider and after a steep clim back to where we were he started to re-rig. We argued with him that his rig needed a professional inspection. Eventually he realised that we were right.
Just listened to your story on a podcast and it brought me here. How amazing!
Good thing we didn’t have to watch this on live leak
Absolutely.
I wonder why he hasn't posted the other footage from the camera on the front of the hang-glider?

Your handshakes must be terrifying. What an incredible demonstration of what people can do when it's shit-or-bust.
It's a lesson I learned in an early training run. Being a heavier pilot, I was awaiting best take-off conditions on a blustery day. I got into the A-frame to move the kite closer to the edge of the hill, when the wind suddenly picked up - beautifully, I braced ready to go... My instructor, thankfully spotted my error and called me off. Thanks again, Gerry!
Extremely impressive feat of strength! I just watched professional rock climbers compete doing a straight arm hang from a horizontal bar on muscle beach, Venice Beach (UA-cam) and they barely made it over the two minute mark. You held on for longer than they did! (2.5 mins). Respect!
I was looking for *THIS* type of comment. I'm quite physically active, in early 30s and even I was getting EXTREMELY nervous more and more as every second passed the 1:30 mark. My palms would have been drenched after a certain point, however I would have been able to perform a pull up easily and hooked onto the bar with my armpits... so idk how this man ACTUALLY did it I salute this guy for real.

I did a similar f-up back in the 70s. Primitive conical Rogallo, and I didn't have a passenger. Fortunately, I was at Long Reef in Sydney, only about 100ft high, and though I came in hot, no damage to me, or the kite.

This is still my favorite youtube video after all these years. What kind of life have you had that's made you so chill?
Wow !!! You kept your nerve and held on. A real man !! Respect
Super human willpower to hang on that long. You sir are a blessed man! Congratulations brother! Wheeeew!
When your life depends on it
@@carloscolon1279 In Navy Seals training it's taught that your body will try to make you give up when you are at about 40% of your actual exhaustion limit - unless your life depends on it. This guy held on for even more than 100% by literally tearing his left bicep
I say it’s fake.....no one can hang on that long even with adrenaline. If you don’t believe do slow the playback speed at 0.25 and notice 1. Not all wind effect is the same on lose hanging straps. 2. The biggest give away is when the un-clipped passenger is holding onto to the trousers of the pilot with his right hand...BS!! His arm is at a 90 degree angle and holding his trousers by his fingers.....if this were correct you would see the evidence in the mans trousers been drawn in tight lines and he would be half losing his strides.....!! 3. When he fell down on take-off he did not drop heavily enough and most people would not have time to take a firm grip. 4. If you don’t believe go outside and see how long you can last by holding on....double that time with adrenaline and there is the maximum ...... I say it’s a fake. Don’t bother name calling, just look for yourself see and give me you thoughts.
Lester Stanley you're an idiot
Lester Stanley oh stfu
Thats some james bond shit right there
MACHO he should be the next007.

Yep this kids who climbing on towers and showing selfies can hides
That's what many people are missing. This whole thing was an intentional operation to ambush the commies at the bottom.
@@entelin i need your supplier's number
Still show this video to anyone who will watch! Absolutely incredible. Good job guy!!!!
Oh, my word. Is that up near Interlochen? Looks familiar enough for me to believe that's where I took my first hang glider ride. This is unbelievable. I feel grateful you didn't give up.
That is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. You're a beast for being able to hang on that long! Glad you're alive 💯
that was some mission impossible type shit..........
When ur life is on the line....
@@saltytsp yes it was! Wouldn't doubt it if he actually base jumped the next day 😂
@@Shredberry
Yea, but I saw a video of a guy in a similar situation lose his grip almost immediately, and fall to his death.
HI JRGO
thanks for following me on insta your vids good
Damn the adrenaline rush u must have had
He wore the brown pants that day...
Jt=daddy
Papa?
He probably enjoyed it. He said he gonna probably do it again. Must have been a huge turn on.
"I will go Hang Gliding again..." white folks. (SMH)
Thank you for sharing your story! This is crazy Man i would’ve been freaking out.
So grateful you survived to tell it.
after they landed... “MY BAD... YOU GOOD?”
Can't stop laughing
Ouups.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 my mistake!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL. I went from “oh my god that’s fuckeddddd” to choking on my water and squirting it at my phone screen through my nostrils
BRO ITS JUST A PRANK BRO
This is why I never leave my apartment.
Lel : )
You should come outside, I’m making home made guacamole....
Same here. Home bicycle trainer is all the exercise I need. No need extra risks outside. Seriously!
"This is why I never have fun."
Lol this is funny because it's true
The amount of strength required to hang on with just one arm is tremendous. Try hanging on to a pull up bar for more than 5 seconds. It's extremely hard for normal people. It's truely amazing how he was able to hang for so long.
I just saw you on the Weather Channel! I'm so glad you're okay!!
That was by far the most exciting video I´ve ever watched on UA-cam...
Plus he's making alot of money from it
@@lonnie008 you think he's gonna hire Switzerland's answer to Sal Goodman? Or maybe a swiss Johnny Cochran? Lol. Something tells me he won't have to pay for anymore rides.
Holy cow!
@@balthazarbratt8194 down for dumb ass
agreed
I've seen those UA-cam videos where they hang from a bar for like 100 seconds and win $100. I think you won a bit more than that. You won life.
Those bars rotate. Much harder than one that doesn't
I think winning $100 is better than winning not dying for no reason
@@russiankid112233 Aha, good point.
@@russiankid112233 not at all, my man in the air with hard winds hitting up an he's probably got sweaty hands from trying not to die
@@bearded_z0mbiegaming108 He held on for over 2 minutes. People holding a rotating bar can't make it to 100 seconds. Fit people. This fella isn't exactly in his prime. And he held on.
I knew you made it, and watching this still made me anxious. I was thinking the same thing as other commenters-- adrenaline is a heck of a drug. It is crazy what people can do in life or death situations.
You probably have the BEST story/ icebreaker in modern history. This gave you so many badass points you never have to prove your badassness again
I just listened to a podcast about you and came to find this video. WOW!!! I can’t believe you went again after this. Lol! What a bad ass!
If that was in the U.S. there would of been a few lawyers in that open field waiting for you to land.
Ya because the US is obsessed with suing people and trying to make money off any tragedy
Phil Sutherland
Calm down there buddy. If your instructor almost killed you then yeah i think contacting a lawyer would be a good idea. Thats not making money off a tragedy, that’s getting retribution for nearly getting killed.
Phil Sutherland money is what makes the most impact. Litigation would change policies/safety procedures etc
@@Philsutherland1995 Because something like THIS obviously only deserves a light slap on the wrist, possibly even a stern talking to. Probably not a finger wag though, that's a bit much.
They've created a new extreme hang gliding sport
I think you're getting the hang of it.
What u did there... I seen't it.
😁
Ba-dum.. Tsssss
Hey now, hold on there just a minute....
Best laugh of the day
Amazing tenacity, literally. well done Sir!
"Pilot is maneuvering for a quick landing" - pilot heads out over trees.
The fact that you held on with just your hands, at moments just 1 hand... FOR 2 MINUTES 30 SECONDS... That's unreal man. You had the wind fighting you as well. I know a hell of a lot of people out there that wouldn't have been able to do that, no chance at all. You are lucky to be alive. This video is insane, you are one strong dude.
+ the extra weight of the harness and helmet.
i tought i could hold my own weight for like 10 hours. is it really so difficult to hold hisself for such a long time? like i never did it a minute lmao, but it never felt hard to hold hisself for some seconds.
Yes it is hard to hold several minutes. Most people have problems trying to hold for 1 minute. Nevermind in this situation.
@@edelweiss- 10 hours? 😂
@@edelweiss- lookout, we’ve got a badass here. Enlisted marines can barely do 2 minutes. You’re out of your goddamn mind
You have pretty powerful wrists ooor is that an adrenaline rush that makes you Wolverine :) I hope you enjoy your second flight!
Pit bull Jaws ain't got nothing on your left hand grip bro...
Thats amazing he could hold on. If you watch people trying to hang from a bar for 100 seconds many cant even do that. ua-cam.com/video/-1EeW6JK_ow/v-deo.html
@@practicalguy973 really, 2 and half minutes feels easy most of the time lol, maybe not off a hang glider I guess lol
@@practicalguy973 The hang bar of that video rotate. It s most difficult that way and is the reason because fit people couldn t hang for 100 seconds
Bare in mind he wasn't both hand on the bar all the time, he held the guys shirt and then legs later on.
Credit still for holding that long in mid air with lots of movement.
Bro I salute you for having the strength to hold on. Most people couldn't have done that.
I recently broke my wrist in july. It's devastating. I can't believe you made it out of this. Good work
