Funny Takeoff Fail / Win Compilation Paragliding Testival 2017 Kössen outtakes bloopers [4k]

[@leklein4932]

So much incompetence in one video. I really hope that there will be one for 2021! Otherwise I have to rewatch these old ones again :-)

[@TitusIV]

This looks like a circus, I would have given up on flying on such a day just to enjoy watching these take offs.

[@aaronclarkt]

some pretty funny pilot errors. but also the air looks insane at this launch site / time of day. looks like mid day. and very thermic.

[@P23ABQ]

Looks like most wings are hit with a right-side crosswind almost immediately after launch.

[@EvelcyclopS]

Not that I'm some sort of expert, every single one of these people are turning too early before the wing is flying. Almost no checks of brakes to stop the wing overshooting.

[@crimsonraen]

Hahaha Oh nooooo! These are hilarious! Wow. It's been said, but so little brake checking, so much early turning and running. :P

[@CampTlangram]

😁 Before attemping to takeoff, some of them need more hour for ground handling

[@InAirWing]

Agree, im just started paragliding . Student level:) And I see some pro still on my level :D

[@luissoco]

The switching toggles technique, because nothing's better than juggling with your brakes at take-off. If I ever see an instructor teaching this I'd kung-fu chop his throat and instantly save a life.

[@fitschi3000]

i dont think most of these guys ever saw an instructor

[@williamsouza1172]

that was a freaking ROTOR area, if I reckon correctly, lots of canopys turning around insanely even in the ground.

[@fdsailor6513]

Just think there all going to be in the air together.

[@flyingbirdi]

Rotor hin oder her.. nach dem Start direkt ins Gurtzeug sitzen oder den Schirm der schiesst wie Sau keinen mm anbremsen..da wird auch bei schönstem Wind nur ähnlicher Blödsinn rauskommen wie in diesem Video ;)

[@robincondite]

So good! 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@tyroleanparagliding7324]

Man könnte auch meinen, dass es sich um Aufnahmen vom ersten Tag in der Flugschule handelt. 😉

[@williamsouza1172]

man kann merken, dass es um einen Rotor gebiet handelt. Deswegen so viele Piloten hatten schwierigkeiten beim Start.

[@williamsouza1172]

manchen brauchen natürlich mehr Training.. lol

[@wenigdabei]

look like a normal day in kössen 😂😂😂

[@mylescaldecott6511]

Some of these look nasty. But for the funny ones, the birds in the trees must be nearly pissing themselves laughing!!!

[@teaohar2]

Flying wings way beyond skill level.

[@randomhunter1236]

I would say its kinda easy, haven't tried it but i do kitesurf so i know how the turning works and stuff like that, the amount of failed launches in this video seems like none of them know what they were doing, from not launching into the wind to applying the brakes too hard and even not applying the brakes enough

[@titter3648]

It's most likely a turbulent area. It is probably a bad spot to have a launching area at all because a lot of this looks like it is caused by rotor turbulence to me.

[@shaofeihu4472]

where is it? I would like to watch this for whole day, haha!

[@rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Kossen, Austria

[@marcelbakker3]

Kisses in Austria. Great flying site. Flown there a lot ... With hangglider though. No problems with collapse 😂

[@cavman7]

The amount of pilots hooked into pod racing harnesses who can't launch. All the gear and no idea.

[@hannespaulus3257]

yep - 100% true

[@SemiFlyingPharmacist]

We all learn by mistakes..

[@parapotiste]

Ce décollage est il toujours aussi turbulent ????

[@matiaswolger1851]

Que lindo lugar!! Donde es? Who is that? Wo ist das?

[@airddicted]

This is Kössen, Austria ;-)

[@ranman58635]

Is this normal for PG? That many people that cannot control the wing. Gh school!

[@ranman58635]

That's a lot of paragliders

[@carrady]

Good glider, bad hands.. jjejeje

[@pedromarinlopez2189]

que ocurre en esa zona donde es?

[@bidaragroup]

where is,t this location, wanna try too

[@swiss_2k]

Why, why do they do that? Why do people rush like crazy when they couldn't even hold their glider over their heads. And you can clearly see that there's something wrong by how others start off.

[@dav3013]

Donnez moi vite le site ...que je n y mette jamais les pieds 😂😂😂

[@Gaarider-q4c]

Machen die das absichtlich ?

[@henrikklevstad5070]

tell me this are payed actors :P

[@recommit]

Bloody dangerous launch site.

[@benjaminc8789]

They did well to stay out of the chair lift cables

[@jflow5601]

I wouldn't want to fly among the dorks in the crowd.

[@glaucionazario]

A lot of these people should never fly alone in this skill level, they should be at the school training basics stuff, I could see many of them didn't fix simple issues like the rock of the wing. People must have in mind the most dangerous moment in this sport is when close to the ground, specially on the take of.

[@robertbongeszo5216]

Monty Python Flying Circus...

[@SuperYellowsubmarin]

These guys need to practice ground handling instead of trying to takeoff. They visibly don't kno what they're doing. Nothing wrong to it if you acknowledge and seek advice and training.

[@petewest5973]

Somebody needs to fire the PG instructor in this town -

[@isy8196]

You're right!!

[@mare6638]

i saw a question mark on thumbnail.

[@oracla]

These takeoffs are so horrible... and it's mostly pilot error. Conditions are not perfect, but far from being the reason for such bad piloting.

[@mecanictransmision]

Ohhh...shure you are another fat champion

[@titter3648]

No when the wing suddenly collapse on one side on takeoff like you see in a lot of the cases here it is not pilot error but a sudden wind gust from the side caused by turbulence. The problem is most likely the takeoff area it self, it is probably a rotor hotspot in this wind direction.

[@v.n.2039]

Erstaunlich wie viele Anfänger die Stufe ‚Übungshang‘ ausgelassen haben...

[@idanghelber8282]

That guy in the green (nova)? at 0:26.. if he flies like he takes off, he should not be in the air. doesn't even check or feel the glider at all.

[@romankingswell8314]

Quite right but It's not a guy, it's a female.

[@intarsienschrankzwetschgen4224]

That's the fun part of a Testival: People who did not groundhandle for even an hour try EN-C wings.

[@koerz86]

Den ersten Klapper hätte man durch aktives Fliegen eventuell verhindern können, etwas was bei dementsprechenden Bedingungen, beschleunigt und mit so einem Schirm einfach passieren kann und worauf man immer gefasst sein sollte. Der zweite Klapper passierte weil du die Energie im letzten Spiralkreis ohne bzw mit kaum Höhenverlust in einem Vollkreis abgebaut hast und direkt in deine Wirbelschleppe geflogen bist. Genau über der Seilbahn so tief abzuspiralen finde ich auch schwer bedenklich, genau wegen so einer Situation, wenn das nicht so ausgeht hängst du vielleicht neben der Gondel am Seil! Und was schon oft genannt worden ist, Hände weg von den Gurten!

[@GroundCRow]

No, it's not impossible to start the Mentor 4...

[@flynedim8627]

Harika bir yermiş bayıldım..Sadece seyretmeye gidebilirim...:))

[@para_pete]

Gibts bald einen 2018er Part? ;)

[@airddicted]

sehr sehr bald sogar... ;-)

[@para_pete]

Juhuuuu ;)

[@para_pete]

2019?😉😁

[@interlectual_authority]

this was so funny, i nearly shit myself

[@facelikeabum2475]

No wonder most of these people are messing up their takeoffs. Watch them yank their brake lines. Taking off in these conditions, they should be 'hands up' until the wing is flying, not them though.. throwing caution to the wind.. literally

[@dougwiedinger1517]

that's some funny stuff .

[@Andrey-nh4mj]

The same mistakes on and on. I feel like there is a weird school that teaches this mistakes.

[@Nicholas-ob5eh]

what is the mistake?

[@SkywalkerPaul]

The mistake is the botched takeoff . They don’t lean forward enough.

[@SteveWrightNZ]

@@Nicholas-ob5eh Knees not bent, tips unequal height above the ground, turn and hesitate, late or no forward pressure, sitting on or braking the dead side - all bad mistakes. Bend knees. Keep both tips the same height above the ground by running laterally in a (forward) horseshoe shape. After pullup, turn and go forward early and simultaneously, keeping forward pressure. Lean on and brake the good side allows the deflated side to inflate, and lots lots more.

[@rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

@@Nicholas-ob5eh Lots of beginner mistakes can be seen. Pilots not braking their wing enough to prevent frontal, not walking towads the center of their wing, or launching with way too much brake held, some pilots don't even seem to be aware they're holding brake on one side and just hold their hands too far from the pulleys. And perhaps worst of all, people turning forward to launch the moment the wing comes up without actually waiting until it is fully overhead. And of course there's always that one pilot turning the wrong way and ending up with risers twisted.

[@arpitraikwar5447]

Which price a parachute

[@alleswirdgut238]

About 3000€

[@baldontheworld7965]

1. Zadnej publicznosci z tylu na starcie. To niebezpieczne dla obu stron. 2. Brakuje drugiej osoby do poprawienia skrzydla a warunki sa takie sobie, plus duza czestotliwosc startow. 3. Start odwrocony nie jest latwy 4. Brak kolejki startu-kazdy na kazdym i placze sie w sprzety innych-zupelny brak organizacji, duze ryzyko wypadkow. 5. Nie doswiadczeni piloci - widac podczas startow. SLowem masakra a nie cyrk.

[@Eric-ig9oe]

someone knows where it is ??

[@airddicted]

Kössen, Austria ;-)

[@jonathansummerfield8390]

No judgement of the beginners in this video. But some of the guys here fly pod harnesses and b to c wings and do not seem to be capable at all..

[@MrKbtor2]

Why would anyone want to fly at a place with this much traffic? As a beginner (among these beginners) I would just say no.

[@pochtronvirelune25]

So many beginners errors, why people are so hurry to take off? even sitting into the sit... others run without looking around for other people taking off. In this video it's more a 85%human error and 15 from the turbulence. Sad to give licence so easily.

[@TimoOnline]

Wow für so viele Outtakes hast du bestimmt viele Tage sammeln müssen. deine Geduld möcht ich haben. Oder waren wirklich so viele Nichtskönner unterwegs.

[@airddicted]

War tatsächlich an den 4 Tagen fast durchgehend am filmen, langweilig wird's eigentlich fast nie, irgendwo gibt's immer was zu sehen. Natürlich ist die Fehlerquote beim Testival höher als sonst, aber es ist definitiv nicht so schlimm wie man beim Video denken könnte.

[@andreasschoning2769]

Ich denke auch, das einige sich selber überfordern mit der Schirmwahl bei den Testivals. Schneide alle gelungenen Starts hintereinander und niemanden interessierts. Aber bei den Fails haben wir (ähnlich dem Fußball/Bundestrainer) dann plötzlich 30.000 Fluglehrer ;-)

[@flyheartaero]

Hakuna matatta, not a flyable day 🌬

[@katmirflower1911]

The video was good But the music wasn't good

[@clouchpipet7933]

y 'a du niveau en Autriche !!!

[@Kreuzass]

the guy at 3:56 clearly has no idea what to do. i suggest some hundred hours of groundhandling...

[@flydylan_9725]

Or a couple of days.... I reckon a 100 is slightly unnecessary just to learn to launch 😅

[@Arkadiuszczekay]

Go to school... takeoff with side wind. everyone straight ahead...

[@KHambi-mn1up]

And the Darwin Award goes to ....

[@lyallrobertson9761]

Haven't these clowns heard of ground handling? 🙄

[@markusmeixner5679]

Die Piloten gehörn auf den Übungshang und nicht in die Luft!!!!!!!!!!

[@tomfischer9891]

den meisten Piloten sollte man die Lizens entziehen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lucianosantucci108]

very dirty air - do not fly. go have a beer instead.

[@marcinostrowski896]

😂😂😂😂

[@martijnwaanders259]

this is how people die

[@camusmonamour]

c'est un peu la foire aux cancres!

[@Versalko82]

Смешно

[@icare1156]

LOL

[@Caendras]

wtf is going on there :D

[@arpitraikwar5447]

Plzzz help

[@mecanictransmision]

Que porquería de lugar

[@mariuszm5712]

🤔😉

[@andalusienrolfito3382]

peinlicher gehts nimmer...😳

[@stormhansen1499]

Music sucks as always...
