Nothing, the rope at the feet in the first half of the video is just an optional tool for accelerating the wing. Kind of like the throttle in a car. I am sitting in something that is similar to a climbing harness and that holds me around my thighs and hips =)
@@octavciortan yes, there is a normal road to the summit. Possible take off location further east on the summit ridge. At the beginning it's too stony/rocky.
@@octavciortan I don't remember the exact location, I couldn't start from the top (see video description) but I can see in my track that I walked around in this location a bit and thought about starting here: maps.app.goo.gl/vP2Yot5BjJUGfqLS7?g_st=ac
@@octavciortan I have seen Facebook posts with someone starting at the observatory: maps.app.goo.gl/cgcd1PbAgaR5RCBt8 What I had to do - after walking down half of the mountain - was to start here, but really don't recommend it, rocks, bushes, etc: maps.app.goo.gl/HbMEVCUTygwWdVTf6
Awesome!
Paradise...
Definitely.
Not many tourists in October, almost no other paragliders. The flights on Kefalonia were special 🥰
Amazing. I am kind of afraid to ask, but what happens if your feet slip out of the rope they are pushing against?

@@RockIceAir Whew...Ok! Nice. I'll be in Kef in 2 weeks, can't wait. Sorry, no hang gliding for me...too chicken!
@@SamDiMento You can try to find a professional tandem pilot there, maybe they fly at Myrtos beach, just ask them. Enjoy the island =)
Hi, nice video, is there any road to the summit take off spot?

@@RockIceAir Thank you, can you please share location?
