I read your story somewhere about how you didn't place blame or seek retribution for this "mishap," but when you got your go-pro back, the hang gliding company had deleted the footage. I thought that was extremely shameful considering you had been so gracious with them.

I don't understand what happened, why was he hanging the whole trip? Please help me understand

Grip of absolute iron. Much respect.

Assuming you know own that hang gliding company?

Why landing the pilot not by start and wait 2 minits for landing ????¿????????????????

really OMG it’s FAKE!!! look at the metal bar between his feet all the time after 0:58 where the pilot could land perfectly in 10 sec

How did that pilot forget the check and THEN go away from the clear landing to a forest going downwards, making you unable to land for so much longer. That incompetence was so very close to costing you your life, and required surgery and permanent a plate. He absolutely did not do his best to land quickly, he had a clearing from the start and made an even stupider and dangerous decision. This guy should never practice as a teacher, ever again. I hope you're doing better and are having fun with hang gliding now. Take care.

Holy f bro, you tore your bicep from holding your own weight for so long. Also there would have been wind resistance which would have increased your weight due to the mass of your body hanging straight down. I dont think viewers realise how hard that would have been and for how long you must have thought you were going to lose your grip. That was pretty gnarly with how high you got!

Ich habe seit Elf Jahre den B Schein für Hängegleiter,, eine Liegeprobe vor dem Start ist Obligatorisch,dem Fluglehrer sofort Einsperren

The finally word kill me including my wife 😅😅

Dude that's fuckin awesome

I would instantly have tried to pull me up in The beginning and hang on with my knees.. crazy grip strength what The fuck. Watching this Thing Go Higher is scary

bro took hang gliding way too literally

There were paddocks at the top of the hill!

Wow good for you for hanging on that long, if you weren't as fit you'd not have been able to hang on.

что за идиот великовозрастный🤔

Well at least the lawsuit paid for your holiday..... house in Switzerland

"While the pilot made a critical error by not attaching me to the glider"...there's nothing that can be said after this😂

I would sky write the instructors name as an incompetent buffoon

You lucky bastard.. Upper strength or what. 💪🍀💪🍀💪

Thats why I always tell my kids to HANG ON...😁

You are an absolute beast for being able to hang on like that. Like to see anyone even try on a pull up bar. No wind. No panic. What was that 3 minutes. Good luck.

0:59 there was perfect spot to land

Excellent job hanging on man! Glad you're safe!

I bet your insurance company had a fieldday against the pilot...

Next time do pullup ... Nice hang time tho ...

Kein Check, kein Verantwortungsgefühl, keine richtige Ausbildung. Warum landet der nach dem Start nicht sofort in die obere Wiese??? Ein Idiot am Drachen mit Passaagier, da schüttelts mich.

Great attitude!!! Yes, that was difficult to watch, but I'm impressed all to hell. I don't know how you were able to hold on, but thank goodness you did! Your video was recommended by another channel called Adventures Gone Wrong, where she told the tale of a similar hang gliding mishap that did not end well.

"Me"! You are a Hero!

NGL that was kinda gay when you grabbed his ass

Chris... U qweer?

It's fake. You can see the trapeze bar under his feet and the rope connecting him to the other guy.

My guy didn't even get to enjoy that beautiful view cause he was holding on for dear life to stay on the mortal plain and not drop into Eternal Oblivion

He didn't want to land sooner no? because he could have.. 🤣🤣

Jesus...

LEGEND

Aint that waldorf and statler pair of muppets 😅

Go to Interlaken

Тут должен быть коммент: «ВОТ ПО-ЭТОМУ Я НИКОГДА НЕ БУДУ ЛЕТАТЬ НА КАРКАСНЫХ КРЫЛЬЯХ». 😂😂😂😂 P.S. Этот комментарий - шутка, отсылка к русскоязычному сегменту ютуба о парапланеризме. Есть один пилот дельтаплана, который под всеми видео с происшествиями на парапланах пишет, что именно по-этому он летает на дельтаплане. Ничего не имею против ни того ни другого😂

You’re an absolute legend for powering through this and surviving.

I hope you sued the arse off him

That should have been a lawsuit

Holy crap. If only you had let go when you took off...

Quite literally holding on for dear life...

Very poor pre preparation by the glider pilot.

Wow, your words had me in stitches, pun intended. I was waiting for something like, the pilot said “hold on tight, you paid for the flight, so you’re not getting off early, I don’t give refunds.” All the way to the bottom it is then. The video was ok, but with the subtitles, it’s a 10000000% from me 😂 👌😜🤘m-E-m

How much was the medical expense being in a foreign country. Hope the glider company picked up the expenses.

Whooooah, anyone noticed on the left as they are getting close to the grass, about 20 feet up still, what looks like a black bunny runs in from the left side of screen and stops. As they get closer to it, it becomes clear it's a shadow entity and looks like a dark spot after you see it running out in front of them on the left. Have seen other videos with these things. One was attacking a blackbird and close up you could see a shadow pulling the crows leg, for lack of better words. All the birds were scampering on the ground away from it and it caught up with the one. What are these things 🤔 shadow bunnies or some small predator. Either way it looks like one is captured here on video!! Might be a shadow from a bird from above the HG, check it in !!! <><

Remarkable you hanging on so long. No way I could have done that!

A very funny video. Well done.
