Professional Paramotor Pilot Analyzes Insane CRASH!

[@marcellom]

I'm an HG pilot, and I love this series. Very EDUCATIONAL AND INSTRUCTIVE, KZbin.

[@el0zilcho]

The outside pressure on wing-overs is counter intuitive if you're just thinking about it like a side to side turn. If you realize there is a lot of pitch change on higher wing overs it becomes a lot more intuitive. When coming off the high side and starting to swig back to the other side, the outside of the wing takes a steep angle of decent and surges/ dives toward the ground, so the outside brake is acting as some surge/ pitch control, its just asymmetric. Once I started looking at it like this, it became much more intuitive for me. I just realized it's not outside brake to counter steer the wing, it's really just slowing the surge and I'm used to doing that when flying out of every thermal and on a lot of my inflations.

[@MrJdsenior]

Those guys got those reserves out REALLY quickly, like there was zero thought, just reaction, which was exactly what was required. Good on them for obviously practicing, being aware at least after the crash (for the guy in the rear). It's pretty bad when the guy looking rearward has more situational awareness than the guy looking forward. GEEZ, the sound when that guy hit the water was painful just to listen to.

[@TuckerGott]

They both reacted perfectly!

[@marcusparamotor]

I'm the guy flying the blue wing and what you said is totally right, it was pure reaction without much thought. Thanks God we both are OK. I got up after the crash without any absolutely any kind of injury. The other guy broke the femur. Always fly with the reserve. There's no reason to fly without it. 👍🏻

[@MrJdsenior]

@@marcusparamotor Hopefully you were the guy in front, after what I said. ;-) Too bad he had injuries, but even that was pretty minor, considering what it looked like on video. Those skies look too busy for my taste, kind of like flying into Oshkosh during the fly in. No chutes or reserves in our case, obviously. I was under the hood one day, training toward my private in a 152, and we were supposedly being followed by Exec radar, when all of a sudden I had the yoke wrenched out of my hands, and we did a VERY hard bank and yank at about 70 degrees. I very quickly popped my head back to look, and saw a twin boring through the space we just occupied, still wings level, and we were the ones looking directly INTO the sun, which is why we had requested ATC monitoring. ATC never said a word about it, before, during, or after. I wanna tell ya, they heard about it though. Thank god my instructor was paying full attention or I wouldn't be writing this. The air is not a forgiving place, when serious errors are made. The best you can do is learn from situations like that, needless to say, really, which is also obviously why Tucker takes the time to do these analyses, and for my money, he does a good job of it. I'm probably too old now to get into this sport, but MAN, does it look like fun! Stay safe.

[@marcusparamotor]

@@MrJdsenior True!!! This kind of video is important. Very important. Too avoid some new accidents. Thank you. And thanks @TuckerGott for sharing my video

[@marcusparamotor]

@@TuckerGott Thanks for sharing my video and situation. Hope some pilots start use reserve from now on.

[@eduardobindi85]

I'm a pilot from Brazil, so I can tell something about the two last accidents of the video. We were in a major event in Brasília and I was in the air when I saw the two guys with the reserves deployed. The one filming, Marcus, got away with no scratches, only equipment damage, unfortunately the other pilot Alan wasn't so lucky. He had his femur broken and the surgery was not as expected, but in the end everything went fine. In the other video the guy who smashed in the water just ended his day of SIV and decided to make another flight by his own. He had no radio and the instructor was in the ground yelling for him to trow the reserve, with no response.

[@kenhurley4441]

Sometimes lessons in life come with a price!

[@drakeowen7860]

Always glad to see these. I just started to get into wing overs after a year and a half of flying and its good to know what's possible. I'm always sure to keep pressure on that outside brake an so far so good.

[@rule1dontgosplat]

I have been looking forward to some more of these! This is the kind of content (as well as the lazy flights over fields) that really interests me. Analyzing where people messed up, and how to prevent it, is so important. My helicopter instructor was actually killed in a helicopter crash a few months after I gave up training, using a customer's old helicopter doing max performance takeoffs too close to some pine trees. They collided with the trees, fell 80 feet, and burned to death in the cockpit. It's sad, but you can learn a lot from reading such reports and understanding the causes. Keep up the good work.

[@AzBob01]

Just when I was getting comfortable with maybe checking out this sport, BAM! Thanks for being honest and showing the good, the bad and the ugly side of things.

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

Its inherently dangerous, even tho so many try to claim it isnt. I chose to fly, because its worth it. You won't hear me justifying my decision by lying to myself and others, about the danger. Its wonderful that most of us have the freedom to choose to really live, even when it means we risk the inverse.

[@AFlyingGlenn]

I don't know what I don't know, but I'd like to think that watching these crash reaction videos has educated me in a way that has prevented some potential accident from happening whilst flying. All the little bits of advice is somewhere in my subconcious and i think it has made me more aware of what not to do whilst out enjoying a flight. It's a really valuable resource for our small community of PPG flyers, thanks for making them Tucker.

[@DrAElemayo]

Please don't assume any of this is going to be useful unless you practice what you learn in an SIV. In the heat of the moment you won't remember this stuff. That's why it's important to do an SIV to actually do certain maneuvers and know how it feels to get out of them.

[@TuckerGott]

Thank you! That’s the goal.

[@OverlandOne]

Great job educating people on how these accidents might have been avoided. Fly safe Tucker.

[@BuzZzKiller]

I just ordered a new reserve. I'm still rocking one I bought when I went through flight training 6 years ago. Figured it was probably a good time for a new one.

[@ConnorDuffy.]

Props to both pilots for getting their reserves out after that mid-air collision. Looks like the second pilot was gift wrapped with fabric over his face the whole time!

[@CraigStephens777]

[@lobbyrobby]

Thank you for doing these videos. Those guys both reacted quickly getting the reserve pulled. Shout out to My Dog is Choking. I'm so wrapped up in his Adventure lol. I saw that crash. I couldn't believe the guy was alive. Maybe I'm wrong here but from what I understand from his video, this guy didn't really have the experience to be trying big wingovers. Apparently, Cris was even worried about him when flying.

[@TheLincolnshireFlyer]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@paulnelson5314]

Reminds me of the wraps I’ve had while skydiving. I call them having a nylon salad, hold the dressing😂. Scary sh*t sometimes. Great reaction time on both pilots🎉

[@db5757]

Through years of skydiving I only had one really serious snivel. I had altitude so I tried to clear it. Finally went for the cutaway and reserve ripcord. I started an “Oh sheet!” and suddenly the chute popped open with a pretty good whack…ouch. I hadn’t pulled the cutaway completely loose so I carefully patted it back onto the Velcro. Didn’t make me want to quit skydiving but it did make me hyper aware of my equipment, pre jump prep, body position…etc. Now my body says no más but boy do I miss my brief but eventful youth. 🪂

[@TuckerGott]

Replacing the cutaway handle is actually hilarious. I love that story.

[@europeantechie]

i really appreciate those fail videos, even if i have a hard time watching the grueling stuff. talking about reserve, i think we should do it more - why you might ask? because i'm a paraglider - not just that, but hike and fly, i want to get to the ground asap without gaining any altitude - but this might cost my my bones or my life. Would love to see you do more on that. Safety in sports is all that matters in the end - I'm a climber so I get it.

[@williamcapps6120]

Some guy ate it in a spiral at my first s.i.v... he got away with it but guy was 60% black and blue and left the hospital in crutches. Reserves are a must, and people need to be practicing reaching for that handle. At 5g in a deep spiral it's not so cut and dry as just toss it out.

[@rule1dontgosplat]

One of the things my mentor kept pushing on me was practicing finding the handle. My reserve is on the right side of my PowerSeat Lite. Basically even with my eyes closed I can put my hand on my thigh and run it straight back until it runs into the handle. But 5G? Holy Crap that sounds intense.

[@goldythiel2117]

[@rangeorge85051]

I remember back in the day that if I wanted a quarter pounder, maybe I could order a paramotor on Amazon and just fly down to MacDonalds and get one..after a couple of these videos I kinda got the feeling maybe I should take lessons first

[@markmcgoveran6811]

The guy doing the hangovers spiraled into the lake, not because of the cravat but his response was improper. Aviate navigate communicate. Fly straight and aviate. When he got the cravat could have shifted his weight and flew straight. Most important thing in all of this aviation from parawing to stealth bomber. Fly straight. If it will fly it will fly straight. Whenever your flight path curves you increase the load on the wing rapidly. If you had a flight path that was straight after you had this cravat you wouldn't have problems landing. When he had the problem, he should have focused only on flying in a straight line. At first the curvature wasn't too bad but it kept tightening and tightening and tightening and he never should have let it begin to turn in the first place.

[@patrickswitzer628]

The last video with uncontrolled rotation into the water: 100% recoverable by pulling outside brake. Your suggestion of trying to clear the cravat whilst still rotating is what people often try, and is incorrect. Good SIV instructors teach this the same: 1. Stop the rotation (or throw reserve if you're not trained or don't have altitude to solve problem) 2. Get a heading and fly away from danger like terrain 3. Clear cravat As Malin Lobb points out, uncontrolled rotations to the ground are the biggest killer in the sport, so it's important to get this right

[@adventureswitharizonaart6117]

[@TuckerGott]

I’ve been following that one. Very sad.

[@Dr_Kenneth_Noisewater]

That mid-air was like an Arkansas wedding.

[@ChrisCanMakeStuff]

The autorotation in the last one is recoverable with the right training. It doesn't involve fishing out Stabilo lines while in an Auto.... At least on a paraglider it is.

[@DrAElemayo]

I think all you have to do is pull really hard in the opposite side. It happened to me once, I was much higher fortunately. I was considering throwing the reserve, but luckily that move managed to get me out of it and the cravatte went away on its own

[@blinkindots]

@@DrAElemayo like you said. I don't know about the paramotors, but in normal paragliding, based on the SIV sessions, when you got in auto-rotation by asymetric collapse and let it rotate couple times to get it its max impact, you get support from the inner side of the risers and weight-shift to outside. You don't even have to just pull outiside breaks too hard. And if you haven't done this kind of exercise before, maybe you're not used to it because it involves relatively higher Gs and affects much more than even spirals, so you can get caught off guard. Some kinds of these cravats, in a real scenario, could said to be more harsh then artifically created auto rotations. Even the higher cravats, which, in this scene, are said to be much harder to recover than others. When you get into this situation, if you cant recover anyhow, you can release the inside brake, grab with both hands the outside brake, and pull it as hard as you can. That is one and possible the only way to recover from the hardest cravat caused autorotation, ofc if you have enough altitude. if not so, throw your reserve without second thought..

He is good, but he should find a safer place to fly, with more and better emergency landing options. I don't think he could do that as well a second time. What if there is wind, this spot will be very turbulent.

[@tango_sierra8608]

I’d love to see a video from you flying with a spyder or beginner wing (appropriately sized) and showing proper weight shift,pull, timing of wingovers or assymetic. Something to give people some proper foundation to look at. There are videos out there but not the greatest or on a spicy wing and you can’t see much. I think this would also be beneficial to show pilots you don’t need to upgrade your wing prematurely and you should be nailing them on easy wings first

[@BillyR1968]

Good day, Tucker. I started paragliding in 99. On the hike to launch i was bit by a tick and lyme disease took over my life. It was a bad case that had me bed ridden for over five years. Long terrible story. I recently decided I was going to start flying again. I bought my wing & and gear, now I'm considering ppg. I would love any thoughts you might have on a motor for a non- aggressive 185lb. 56yr old Pilot. I do love the peace and quiet of paragliding, so i don't know if a quiet motor is a dream or if they even exist. And last, these old bones would love something light. Am I being realistic or looking for a unicorn ? If you can keep up with all these comments and get back to me I'd be so thankful. Peace and Grace.

[@TuckerGott]

Dang! Lyme disease is scary. I got it as a kid but never had it that bad. Sorry you went through that! As far as motors, there are more quiet options but nothing that is truly quiet. An Atom 80 would be your best bet, but you may want to size up on your glider as you are on the heavier side for such a small motor. That will be a lightweight setup too!

[@stijn13h]

Orange is more visible, and I think people will better know something is wrong if they see orange instead of white.

It is possible he just missed a surge, but more likely he flew into something major that I missed. The air was so trash. There were even dust devils, so its possible there was something very isolated.

As someone who films motorsports events using drones the guy buzzing the race kinda irritates me. We get paid to film, its our job, as pilots you need to recognize that events are hotspots for drones now and to not buzz events smh. No reason you need to be flying that close not to mention the carlessness letting his goggles go through his prop luckily no one was injured by that at the event

[@austinflagg]

I’m part of the dirt bike club that put on the race, it was requested and coordinated by race event staff for me to do a flyover prior to the beginning of the race so I would have the field to fly around, this was not a random buzzing of an event. The googles are 100% my fault and very lucky no one got hurt from that mistake. Unfortunately you’re not able to see when goggles come off your helmet and get caught in the netting behind you. Will apply some sort of safety strap to them from now on to prevent this from happening again

[@AAronFpv]

@austinflagg good to know and glad you made it down safe! I've been filming events before and had random guys come flying over at treetop height no warning, nothing. As a drone operator I'm ultimately responsible if they hit me doing that and I think that's bs. They're supposed to be 500ft or higher unless landing or taking off just like were supposed to be under 400ft. Obviously this was requested so it doesn't fall in that category

[@TuckerGott]

If you’re talking about paramotor’s, they have no obligation to maintain 500ft.

[@austinflagg]

⁠​⁠@@AAronFpv I hear you man and very understandable to be irritated with those pilots, that’s dangerous on everyone’s part when they fly like that

[@AAronFpv]

@@TuckerGott aren't you subject to part 103 regulations? When I grew up flying expirmentals we weren't required to have licenses or register the aircraft like now but we still maintained a minimum of 500ft just for safety if nothing else. Plus drones didn't exist back then so we wouldn't have had to worry about them like today. Just saying buzzing events like I've seen (not this situation) isn't the safest thing for anyone these days seeing as drones are more than likely going to be at events.
