It is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than being in the air while wishing you were on the ground. This is my version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/robMXn2iarmZbqc

I think if you were in a dive position you'd lose altitude more faster, but no one can design properly in difficult times.

tolles Video, Danke Ralf für's posten. Ist Col Rodella ein schwieriges Fluggebiet also nur für sehr gute Piloten, oder auch für den Durchschnitts-Piloten mit 20 Flügen im Jahr fliegbar?

Just a few days ago a friend of mine was killed while hang gliding. He was only 21. The devastation of his partner and family is heart-rending. We all need adventure in our lives, but for goodness sakes, be defensive and minimise the risks. Pushing the boundaries like this can end badly...

I'm assuming that the reason you didn't turn around and go with the wind is because you would have no lift, and would be unable to glide to the ground, but fall?
@flyguy-hanggliding Жыл бұрын
Going with the wind would have been possible but there might be wind rotors behind the ridge and i don't know the area well. That's the reason i flew against the wind.

So let me get this straight. all your weight multiplied by the force of the wind, turns and elevation, all rests upon two little lines and one V connector the size of a thimble. More over, only one connection at that, not even a secondary safety line for redundancy. why does this seem incredibly stupid to me.
