what a mess

Lessons learned:
Check the brakes more carefully before takeoff
Use the accelerator to prevent overbraking.

[@GeneralThargor]

Pre. Flight. Checks. DO THEM, it might just save your life.

[@hansdijkstra5814]

Yep. But this can and will happen to all of us sometime. Its the way you solve it. Stay calm, look for space and diy 😉

[@SYS-dc6uo]

Apparently he started with autopilot on

[@SupernovaSpence]

Yes. Completely agree. And if you do get in a pickle, aviate first. I like how he handled this… careful not to accidentally add more brake and build some space from the ridge

[@Derlorman]

Kann immer mal passieren, Reaktion genau richtig- raus in den freien Raum vom Hang weg, Gewicht nach rechts, leicht gegenbremsen -erst dann um Wickelung kümmern.

[@hekikuu]

Nice calm flying. You can always steer with the brakes above the wheels or use the C’s. Always good to practice with these two options in ground handling. Thanks for sharing

[@JohnUllrey]

Pretty bad tangle, glad you got it sorted.

[@EAZZIOT]

I first suspected a knot in the lines, but it quickly became obvious what the problem was.

[@modus_ponens]

Haha, how many loops there can be 😅. Well handled anyways! This also happened to me couple of times (though not as badly). On the last time it happened, I broke my hip in due to it. After the injury, the tangling has not been an issue anymore, because the injury has caused some extra paranoia to douple check the lines. (I have also utilized this effective "learning technique" to other safety matters in paragliding too 😂)

Häkeln für Anfänger. Bisschen mehr Wicklungen und es hätte eine Socke werden können. :D Gut dass alles problemfrei lösen konntest.

[@ChrisJewell7333]

Been there…! Done that…😂

[@alfav6dax]

I expect it's happened to more of us than we'd care to admit...

[@ThibaultROHMER]

There are ways (visual check, how to take brakes, ...) to be sure there is no mess before launching. 1. take your time 2. look from the carabiner to make sure elevator is straight. brake elevator should face you 3. take brake in hand ; don't forget that while solving this issue, you cannot feel and prevent a collapse. Avoid it.

post-start check

[@itsthelittlethings100]

When you make the flight carrying a backpack stuffed with clothes and then you fold it all nice when you get to the hotel.

[@lololala4164]

very calm pilot

Toujours préparer sa voile avant le décollage! MAVIE Materiel Attache Vent Inspection Espace aérien Et le vol devient plaisant! Bon vol!
