paragliding crash and funny moments

[@MattnUska]

This is what a world without paragliding instructors looks like.

[@Yuremax]

The frontal collapse seems very common in this place and rookie pilots with EN-C gliders, too:((

[@ColoradoMikeC]

This is like one of those Japanese game shows where everyone takes it in the nuts or breaks their spines.. while every laughs.. must be a cultural thing I don't understand..

[@safurian]

this launch area seems to be better suited for hang-gliders, especially the wind system seems to be dangerous for the paragliders

[@romankingswell8314]

Unfortunately people like these are making this sport looking extremely dangerous. For too many years that's what was putting me off from approaching it. I'm just a begginer now and to get a training and master ground handling would me my starting point. In a bad weather, go home and stay safe. Sometimes it's more like the people are extreme, not the sport, I think.

[@nilskrah7631]

This is not funny, not even to watch. Several launches are badly executed and very few of them give the impression that the pilot is in full control of the glider before "jumping off" or being pulled off. Most of all, the wind conditions seem unsuitable in many sequences, as has been suggested by other viewers (probably lee side rotor?). Launching in these conditions has little to do with balls of steel, as stated by others, but is simple dangerous and fully avoidable. My impression is the pilots either except the high risk or neglect it. If the site were in Europe, I would criticize the pilots for shedding negative light on the paragliding sport, which has struggled to brush off the "extreme" coating and has now become a more accessible way of flying in the eyes of the public. However, I do not know the public opinion about paragliding in Japan. Risk might be viewed as a positive attribute of the sport there.

[@sadificilable]

[@ahgflyguy]

hang glider pilot here, with only a few hours of paraglider ground-handling experience. I can't exactly tell what's going on with the collapses, but if there were a flying site where that many hang gliders had that bad of launches, I'd be really careful to understand the rotor situation, and to find (or make) some thermal markers 50, 100 and 200 yards out from launch. I'd even do that if the hang gliders launched fine but the paragliders were having this difficulty. It looks like they have no idea what's out in front of them. And if it's a lee-site, I'd have some wind indicators behind me as well. But I suspect that most of what we see here is sharp thermals and rotor due to cross-wind that the ramp slot makes appear to come closer to straight in.

[@王超-s2x]

Ninety percent of all variables involved in these takeoffs - wind, ramp, pilot, etc. - are wrong.

This is a result of side wind, it looks funny, but very dangerous.

No, it does NOT look funny. Not even remotely funny.

[@dougfoster445]

I fly typically in florida. I once went on a trip to poland where I don't know the land and brought my wing...Everyone was trying to get me to launch just laughing and calling me a pussy...I did not like the geography and weather and man they just didn't understand the danger of flying in bad situations...The attitude of these people reminded me of that time.

[@ullmannbh8958]

There is clearly a rotor just off the ramp and yet they still jump

[@SkidzFPV]

Is it normal in your area for completely inexperienced pilots to leap off the launch with En-C gliders and pod harnesses, 90% of those launches should have been aborted long before sending it.

[@Taubrala]

where is the fun? These guys risking their lives starting into the lee side of the Mountain. They could die. Where is this?

[@RayNickell]

I think . It is strong thermal weather. Why do you mean lee side ?

[@Taubrala]

RayNickell because of the reaction of the glider. in german it is called "klapper" if one side of the wing "falls down". an it happens allways at the same position. Together with the near trees and the strong wind i.suggest that there could be a rotor from an lee.

[@fl3dge]

Strong wind si coming from the left corner, take off is not exposed....

[@alexs6142]

I think you're right. Strong wind from left --> 2:15

[@oliforfun5668]

Asian site of Yamazaki in Japan. These pictures have probably a few years. Strong of thermals and airflow are realy impressive. Not to say that all pilotes are wrong. So with a full collapse Omega opens good again, more than the sky who comes back on the wrong side for this unlucky glider. Nice video and to hope the best for these gliders...

[@nilskrah7631]

The pilot of the Sky at 4:40 is lucky the the impact was cushioned by trees. On rocky terrain, he would probably have suffered serious injuries or might in the worst case not have survived.

[@eatmyjetfuel4998]

Why is everyone getting frontal and asymmetric collapses!?

[@jeremysetdec]

Because the wind is crossing 90 degrees from the left, it should be coming straight up the hill, they are in the wrong place on the wrong day.

[@waelahmed2871]

Beautiful Videos bro ..may i Ask what the name of this type & how much is it? and where to get one : )

[@JerryMinne]

[@JUANCAMES3]

that take off its clearly wrong, the wind clearly comes perpendicular to the take off, but because of the hill it spins and seems to be coming fron the front, and when they take off, the side wind hits hard making the collapse

[@tkeforever4809]

“BANZAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!”

[@look4wind]

I'm not paraglider, but from videos I can see wind is going from left side and they turning to left when going more out from left side hill, tree shadow. Turbulent wind? Wing left side collapse. Sorry for wrong terms.

As a beginnner I would say it's pretty useful video. Unlike all kawaii "european" take off videos, where everything looks easy and fine, here you get the idea what it looks like when something goes wrong or when the conditions are bad. I didn't recognize any of the wings though. I wonder if any of Japan paraglider makers certify their production in Europe.

[@sergeig685]

What went wrong here is launching into a known rotor on a bad day, time after time after time. And all the wings in the video are european (Niviuk, Advance, UP, etc), except a couple of Korean Gins.

[@valerimihaylov843]

[@discowest2557]

What causes all those Collapses??

[@ashleymorris8403]

They're likely on the lee side of the mountain or the wind is over the back and is causing rotor on the side they're flying on. No experienced pilot would fly in these conditions.

[@samhouston2000]

Just having a slope to launch does not make a place suitable for paraglider.

[@dudli01]

Not an optimal combination: 1. Rookie pilots; 2. EN-C wings; 3. badly designed launch site; 4 Difficult conditions. It is a small wonder that they are all still alive...
