Paragliding crash: flying into the leeside of Patu (Brazil) at 45 kmh wind. REAR VIEW

1:36 I,ve never seen that... One would think the right side of the glider would slip and the wing would spin here... Great job by the pilot keeping that thing flying in this turbulence.

me neither, maybe that was so due to the broken stabilo line

Overall it looks like good piloting except maybe the decision to fly in these conditions in the first place. It seems to me that you were very heavy on the brakes, and almost spun the glider several times. Would you agree with this assessment? For the landing, I'm curious, did you make the left turn in the last moment to escape some dangerous terrain? If not, then landing against the wind in the bushes would have perhaps been the safer option? Thanks for sharing, lots to learn from this video!
