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.

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 8 ай 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.

I have a question, yesterday morning i was looking at my flight traker . I was looking for airforce activity over south eastern England. I noticed at least 50 to 75 gliders in the air spread out over a few hundred miles. Then as i scrolled up north i seen the same , more and more gliders. My question is, is this a big thing in the UK ? Or was it a special event.? Ive never seen that many in the air before. The whole lower half of England was just covered in gliders.
