I wanted to keep the video as pure as possible and thus did not want to edit out any mistakes that happened along the flight. People might learn from it!
Should I have aborted the TO? Maybe. In reality I was already too far committed in taking off and started to feel the deflation right as my feet left the ground. My solution was to focus and steer away from the collapse with all my force and weight to avoid spinning into the mountain and pump out the collapse.
The rest of the flight was very relaxed, with no issues apart from some turbulence created by the helicopter!

Close call indeed. It played out nicely for you in the end so all good but next time I think you should abort take off. Judging by the wind sock there was enough wind to pause the wing before engaging in take off no ? Due to its location, Plan de l'aiguille can be a tricky spot to take off from.
