If you want I can share with you the safety points that have been underestimated and that led me to that risky maneuver in the trees.

I hope you're alright. I'd like to have your analysis and the safety points you mentioned in the description.
Congrats for what you do, tx for sharing.
Fly saaafe !
Hi thanks for your interest.
1. The glider I used to fly is on loan to test and therefore I don't know it well.
2. It's the second time I fly to this place in my life.
2. I had been flying all day in the mountains and tiredness made itself felt... and maybe it also influenced the final decision.
3. At times there began to be a lot of descending air and turbulence but we decided to fly anyway (the flight could have been done without problems if I kept a greater safety distance especially before the trees started.)
Before the fall there are some houses, I wanted to pass between two houses but I began to feel the air lowering me and I passed by the side. Then you see that I start to pull the rear risers to get up and fly over the trees but it doesn't get up and so I attempted the maneuver between the trees.
@@kris_theadventurer It must have been very scary. I didn't see you tried to get height i though the passage between the trees was part of your line ! I am a paraglider pilot, not a speedflyer.
Almost anytime we have an incident or an accident, a mistake of ours is at stake. You describe them well, and i think it is the good way to keep on flying safe.
The 4 mistakes can be put in 3 categories : Meteorology (turbulences/ descending air) / Mental, state of mind (tiredness) / Equipment (unusual glider).
I put it there because I noticed that accidents are often the combination of these, to which i would add the experience of the site and his conditions.
I had an incidents in a site near home, of which i wasn't very used to, and which was known to have some big fast change in aerology. The wind went in (meteorology), i didnt know what was happening (experience) i was frightened and mentally blocked (mental). Fortunately i had a beginer equipment, with airbag (equipment) which saved my back. I recoiled onto the take off and crashed into cars up there. Finally I was all okay.
I hope you will fly again, get back to it soon and progressive. Fly saafe ! Tx for sharing
@@julesexbrayat7205 You're right, the error is almost always human. Same as in my case.
Thanks to you as well,
I wish you nice flights!!! 😉
@@kris_theadventurer Your left wing hit a tree, then you got roll and lost attitude
@@kris_theadventurer all i see is really fun flying, and even when failing, falling doesnt look like you hurt yourself much.. great enjoyment low risks? =)
pretty incredible how the orchestra was able to play while flying and even crashing.
😭😭😭
Well that's how orchestras work my dude. Haven't you seen Lord of the rings?
Big ups to the camera man for staying right on his tail the whole time
They are from the same school as titanic's orchestra. keep on playing no matter what.
I hate this thread
thanks for reminding me why I did it 6 months and then went back to purely paragliding.
@@michaelbigelow3255 Everybody can make mistakes, be it flying big wings or small wings. And sometimes it's not about mistakes at all. In the limited time I have been skydiving/paragliding/speedflying, I have seen deadly accidents and serious injuries in all of these disciplines. Most of them during paragliding, so don't think you are invincible when you're flying a large wing.
How did you record it? Like where did you have your camera standing?
Accident? That's how you normally land on those things.....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you were safe-ish at least, hope you were just insulted instead of injured. Nice terrain for crashing compared to a lot of videos. It can be hard to judge the distance to those wing tips!
What a lovely flight. Thank you for sharing the fail video, too. It can be hard on the ego, but you really could save lives by getting people thinking before they did this to themselves, in potentially much worse terrain.
It seems that at the speed and height you were flying that couldve been much worse. Its still really cool to watch you flying that fast down the mountain. Glad youre alright and stay safe!
Damn, that was a close one! I thing that’s actually the “best” crash you could have had! I bet you just had a few scratches and a back pain! Blue skies buddy :)
Can we at least applaud the dedication of the cameraman to follow him through so expertly as he crashed? Hope they are both OK.
bro... is a 360 cam with a selfisick ... get a life
It was a 360 go pro mounted to a pole harnessed to his back , notice how there is only ONE shadow?
@@prostreetsporty no shadow. ooeeerr, creepy. cameraman already dead
@@prostreetsporty No way.
@@QuinlanLJ no way? Ok sure , what's your explanation ?
Wow! Kris that was breathtaking!
Glad you are OK, good anaylsis, thanks for sharing.
Wow! I’m glad you’re ok. You had excellent reaction time but it wasn’t enough. I’m glad you were able to at least get down in a clearing and somewhat safely. I hope this doesn’t discourage you. Excellent video!
It wasn't a matter of 'getting down in a clearing', but crash landing in a location that wasn't actually of his choosing.
Man your hoodie was having just as much as you were.
must have felt much worse in the moment, on video it almost looks smooth haha. Glad you are ok.
There are always people saying stuff like "why would a sane person jump out of a working plane" etc. when it comes to skydiving. As someone who skydivers seeing this makes me have a similar reaction haha. I understand why you are doing it, it must be an insane feeling, but at the same time the margin for error is just way to low for me, my balls are about 90% too small for this. I want to get into paramotoring, but in my country I must log 50h paragliding first, and I am not sure if I am willing to do that, it makes perfect sense to learn the unpowered side first and treat the motor as an added bonus, but paragliding makes me super nervous for some reason.
Looks like a great flight and sorry about the outcome. Glad you are mostly OK and survived.
He was obviously distracted by the powerful music!
Pfiou.....What a luck !
Incident can become dramatic if floor is stone !!!!
Burn a candle......
Thanks for posting !
Was that an auto-tracking drone filming?
Crazy Man 🔥🔥🔥
What bones did you break? That looked gnarly bro. Glad you're still alive and thank you for posting the video
You were so close to the ground that I thought you were going to crash at least 20 times before you actually did.
😆👍
You never looked in control from about half way down. The crash could have happened many times before it actually did. You never looked in control. The crash was inevitable. You looked like you were constantly spinning the dice. Reckless. Not a good advertisement for sport.
@@jamesmitchell5104"Constant Spinning the dice." Hey, it works, try it sometime!
What kind of camera is this and how was it taken?
Great reactions, handled like a boss! 😎👌
I’m happy you are alright. Fly safe!
That was the coolest and scariest thing I have ever seen!! 😮😱😏👍
Нормально делаешь!!! Моё почтение!!)
glad you are okay ! dude seemed like you were going pretty fast everytime you came close to the ground i thought u were going to hit it .
Honestly I thought you would have slid a lot further! Pretty much the best crash you could ask for!!!
Thanks for posting that 👍🏼
That looks a really exciting sport! 😎
Sorry you had a hard landing but I suppose in any adrenaline sport there are always accepted risks 👍🏼
How lucky you are to be able to play with that landscape. Landing looked OK, to me.
Could you land on the slope? Or do you have to go to the bottom?
That looks like a lot of fun and a huge thrill, but if I were one of those homeowners I wouldn't like people flying through my yard at such close proximity to my house.
They are holiday homes where no one usually lives there. We had first done a reconnaissance flight and on the way up we checked.
@@kris_theadventurer I think it would be cool to see this while stepping outside. 🛸🚀.
@@rickymorty6469 Unfortunately I came out crawling on the ground because I couldn't walk. I had turned off the camera shortly after the fall while in pain... an hour later they came to pick me up by car to take me to the emergency room.
@@kris_theadventurer oh fuck my bad. Damn I fell off a 3 story bldg doing roofing "respect"
@@kris_theadventurer respect 💯
ouch! that one looked painful! hope you heal quick! i recently fell down a few steps and broke my 🦶, been grounded few weeks and annoyed at myself for it. i could have at least had a cool story like speed flying, but no, all it takes is two steps and a railing apparently 😂
😆 You're right ... it takes even a little sometimes to get hurt.
humans are too fragile ;)
leafless trees are hard to see in flight. Almost hit a dead pine when wingsuit flying recently. Saw it only on video later 😱
You are right. Be careful bro! 😉
After four hundred and four jumps, I thought skydiving was dangerous. But at least our mantra was: "Altitude is your friend." These Speedflying crazies don't even have that working for them. Good luck with all that!
Such a great video most of the time. I hope you're OK.
Now let's see some of the wing suit flyer's high speed crashes! You always hear about them crashing but you never see it.
Great video, you dodged a bullet on that one. keep the shiny side up.
looks cool the video
Glad your ok. Overall, That’s waaay too low for me.
Gnarly bro!!
Wow that was excellent reaction to minimize crash injuries. Respect! Tree clip, and still regain some control, impressive!
Hi thanks. They are almost instinctive reactions. Unfortunately it didn't go well for me. If that tree hadn't had that last long branch out....it probably would have been a spectacular flight! :)
@@kris_theadventurer Really, what you mean to say is “If I hadn’t been so cocky I would have been OK”. It all comes down to Knowing vs Thinking when doing high speed work. You never want to be in the “Thinking” zone.
Hope your ok bud. That was still a beautiful run though! 😌✊🏽
Wow😱
Hi Kris, a fellow "K'ris here too lol, what were your injuries? Im about to try this in Chamonix this week but just for a fun as a tandem
ah never mind, found your injuries in another comment, hope you're better/healed up. Stay safe.
wow love it x
The safety points you say ? lol, I think that would be quite clear for all, Dont fly low to the ground like that, because sooner or later you go splat, theres old pilots, and bold pilots,,,,but no old bold pilots,
He got too close to the tree, which grabbed his left risers and partially deflated the left side of the canopy.
It wasn't so much the height he was flying at, but his lack of situational awareness as to where his canopy was in relation to the tree.
GG
it was really the great flight (except the end). I guess you enjoyed so much...
I was looking for a creative way to hurt myself, and this looks perfect.
OMG that's so dangerous! Think about your family and how the death will affect them! Insane!
That's very interesting landing. It looks to be kind of soft compared to the stones. Somehow I expected Pee-wee Herman to jump up and say I meant to do that.
Ouch. Looks like you were okay.
Speed flying/riding looks so amazing, but just too risky for me (will stick to my Enzo3 🤪)
Hi, it could have been much worse. I broke a ligament and injured others. Now I am healing…
@@kris_theadventurer glad to hear! Stay safe & humble 🙂
Wow
Were you not able to gain higher altitude?
autsch... hoffentlich nichts gebrochen?
sehr cooles Video, speedflying muss ich auch probieren...
wow got lucky bro!
Serves you right, trying to show off, never take flying for granted! Flying close to trees and you didn't plan your route very well.
Ow man, that must've sucked, hope you are alright.
Dude, please get yourself at least a proper harness for back protection
There are not speedflying harness with back protection
@@hulio8281 Well there are some. E.g Gin Bobcat. Even his friend in the Video seems to have Back protection.
Vidéo bien accéléré 😏 gamelle sans trop de conséquences !
I left the emergency room on crutches...without speeding........
Uhhhhhhh
Surprised his flapping hood didn't get caught on something ;-)
That was an amazing landing for that kind of speed! That only became a crash cuz his wing hit that tree
Super impressive handling by that pilot ! Bravo
Ouch man
how is this filmed?
how does the camera work
How do you check for cables and lines before a flight?
Hi, first we check the flight map of the area, which also indicates obstacles for the flight such as cables and others. Then, we always do some calm reconnaissance flights, maintaining a generous safety altitude to check the flight path we have planned.
An atomic wedgy!
Things happen so quickly, would like to hear the debrief. Planning, execution, or just misjudged?
If you read my response to the first comment above you will see the answer to your question.
@@kris_theadventurer thanks. This type of debrief would make for some good content.
pretty sure that stopped being a "fall" about 40 mph ago. That's a crash bud!. Glad you're OK
Man, u were lucky... 🤯🤯 Sending you some Irish luck from Ireland 🍀
I was gonna buy a speed wing, bcoz I just wanna fly iv never tried it or paragliding before but I figure I'd get the hang of it but maybe I do need to start with a bigger wing n start by kiting and small slopes first.. I just NEED to fly and really can't afford to pay for a wing and training..I know this is controversial n not how things are done but everything in my country is extortionate.. any advice for someone wanting to get into the sport this way?
Hi and thanks! :) Sorry if I answer you only now.
I advise you to start with a "normal" paraglider and go with someone who already knows how to fly!
To let you understand:
Here in Switzerland there is a theory exam (5 subjects: flying practice - meteorology - aerodynamics - material knowledge - legislation including knowledge of airspaces) and a practical exam (max 3 flights with 2 flight exercises to be performed with the stopwatch that you have time limits). Also, on landing we have a circle 30 meters in diameter that you have to hit.
This is to make you understand how prepared a paraglider licensed in Switzerland is. Then the experience makes a lot! But without this knowledge you increase the risk of bad flight experiences.
If you walked away unscathed then lesson learned and be more wary how close trees are next time. Good run otherwise. No harm done ; )
fucking youtube janks up the video quality to 1440p right before the crash and lags out my phone
Birds up in the sky looking down and wondering why he is flying so close to the ground. Evolution- birds have been around a long time, so look and learn. That aside, great video.
It looks like you have a whole new version of 'skid marks' on your bottom dollar lol. Glad your ok.
Ur like yay !!!!! NATURAL SELECTION !!!
WTF, that was an accident waiting to happen.
Taking liberties? Yes, definitely.
What were you thinking?
I hope you suffered no serious injuries.
Despite the ending it still looks like a lot of fun. 🙃
how come i cant see image of that camera stick?
eu devia morar nesse lugar
Took guts to put this video up …..I did the same 10 years ago nearly lost my foot due to a open fracture took me a year to walk again and I still can’t run 😞 I fly very carefully nowadays …..take care mate
Thanks, I hope you'll be running again!
How about dont do fuking stupid things then
Another happy landing.
I used to fly kites a lot. When you fly a kite it is obvious that the air near the ground has vortices and turbulence due to the terrain. So if you keep doing speedflying near the ground every once in a while you will stall the wing and lose lift, then probably impact the ground. Have a nice day.
Lol, he hit a tree!
And I guarantee the pilot already knows about vortices and turbulence near ground.
Thank you for your Ted Talk😂
@@jasonneufeld7373 Yeah I should be doing TED talks. Cheers.
That must suck for the people's who's houses you skim by. This can escalate to another level of get off my grass. "Hey, get out of my air space!"
Oooff..
Хорошо что не было камня
Fly fishing 🤙
Speedflying looks fun, and is fun to watch, but you will never catch my ass doing it.
Where is the camera mounted? At times it looks like a 90s green screen movie.
Hi, look at my shadow at the 45th second. 😉
@@kris_theadventurerthanks, I saw it trailing
C'est pas un peu dangereux de voler aussi bas ?? Quid des obstacles, des fils électriques, des arbres, des maisons ??☹☹
Talk about breaking air law, ( the 500ft rule)
its a crazy sport. i really think you guys fly too close to the ground and i don't know why you do? take care man.
I expected something horrible, so im a little disapointed, hope youre alright tho
The causes of the accident is obvious. Pilot failed to adjust position of hood on his jacket, so that it doesn't cause excessive aerodynamic drag. This led to lower than usual flying altitude, for which pilot was also not prepared.
There was me expecting it to be a wire strike or ski lift pylon knocking you out of the air?
Even music ended
The hood of your jacket acts as a brake shield... have you thought about that ???
I like how having a hoodie on the coat was absolutely worthless
So what's the strategy for avoiding vehicles on the roads being criss crossed?
Pray....I'm just kidding! You have control over the flight altitude and speed. But while flying you are very concentrated and attentive... even if this time I underestimated some dangers. ;)
I didnt hear any auch… where is it?
Hi, it happened in Ticino, Switzerland.
