Thank goodness you’re OK! Thanks for sharing. Great material for learning and showing. Enjoy your future flights. 👍👍🙏 from NZ. 😉

[@frankdaems2804]

Definitely stall. First stall 2.31 right wing. Second stall 2.40 left wing. Flaps were in take off position, bottom bar pushed in front off the head. Only way to recover is immediately pulling the bottom bar. Luckily you seem to be OK.

[@felixx321]

I mean goddamn, dude is starting off in a body bag

[@394824]

That turbulence happens in a glider just before you stall it, intentionally or otherwise. The slower wing goes first and it’s a spiral dive or spin, depending on how quickly you get the nose down and the rudder across. A faster air speed would be the best prevention..

[@ahgflyguy]

In a steady circle in still air, the inside wing stalls first because there’s actually a higher angle of attack on the inside wing. So yes, the slower wing stalls first, but not because it’s slower. In a thermal, where the inside wing in closer to the center of the thermal, this effect gets exaggerated even more.

[@GLICKMIRE]

Looks to me like he got caught in a wind rotor which can happen on the downwind side of the hill.

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

This is the reason I never hang glided or paraglided.

[@roybatty2030]

Airflow around any object, hill, building, trees, is often turbulent and unpredictable, a problem made worse by cloth wings.

[@julesviolin]

IF IN DOUBT ....BAR IN ! You didn't react to the stall !

[@wild2flyparagliding160]

My 2 cents worth... The tail that looks broken is the stitching line between the two spherical video halves that are recorded in 360 cameras. But there does seem to be some broken carbon strands on the top part which could indicate a crack. Hhhmmm...🧐 The camera buffeting at times could also indicate some flutter coming from the tail due to the crack? Though with some flaps activated this does have the effect of causing some broken airflow over the rear horizontal wing with a similar buffeting result. But without a better edit on this section it is hard to tell what effect if any this had on the flight. In general I see the problem as flying too slow - which explains the poor role response from the glider. The pilot seemed slow in pitch corrections exasperating the lack of speed. (With sufficient speed the spoilers should still have had the majority authority in role even if there was some keel crack issue). And NB, the pilot did poor role corrections with body twisting, which resulted in slow, insufficient and sometimes zero spoiler activation. Watch form 2:28 how the right spoiler is fully activated while the pilot has moved to the left of the control frame. The right spoiler remains fully activated for a while, despite the pilot having moved to the left. (Yeah, seconds seem like an eternity and counts!) Only at 2:30 does the pilot bring over his legs to the left which results in more body weight acting on the control frame control mechanism - it has the desired effect by de-activate the right spoilers and activating the left spoilers. (This explains the seemingly poor role response from the glider.) Eventually the slow speed results in the spin as the start of the accident and this cascaded into the remainder maneuvers. Big applause to the pilot for getting out the reserve in time! Good job! 😎

Hungry cameras you say ? Interesting 🤨

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

This pilot was close to stalling several times before he finally did. Terrible flying ability. I am surprised he has lasted this long.

I concur. At the age of 6 I used my sisters umbrella on my first flight. It popped inside out as soon as I stepped off the upstairs window sill. It worked for Wiley Coyote, but not me. It did hurt a lot.

É andata bene così..... Da un doppio stallo spesso non se ne esce interi.... La fortuna è stata quella di aver impattato sulle fronde degli alberi sottostanti anche grazie alla tua prontezza di aver lanciato il tuo paracadute salvavita....Che ha frenato il tuo impatto..... l esperienza insegna sempre molto ma anche agli appassionati a capire spesso come se ne esce....

[@davidhull1481]

I’m having a hard time visualizing what this looks like when it’s not distorted.

[@HowesAero]

Look at 2:28. Hard control input to port with full starboard spoileron? That starboard spoileron spends a lot of time part extended. Is there a sticky/jammed control? Looks a bit like the cable might have hung up or is not connected and the spoileron is waving in the wind. If that's the case then it's being controlled by the port spoileron only.

[@firebirduno]

Uff, good to see you are OK🙏 What happened? Low speed and then stall?

[@jlvandat69]

No idea whats going on, based on limited camera info and no text from pilot regarding the accident, but appears that the tail boom was broken before launch but the glider was okay until it hit some minor turbulence, rolled, and then the broken tail (stabilizer?) induced a stall......and game over.

[@aviatorjames]

So glad you're ok!

[@2skydream]

The buffeting the camera is experiencing is due to lots of flap and slow speed - it was only a matter of time. Need to reduce the flaps after T/O and increase speed. Glad you’re ok.

First of all, I am glad he is ok. I have a question, what was the hanging point of the pilot in his glider (-3,-2.-1,0,+1,+2,+3)??

[@gonagain]

I saw it too and was wondering how he missed that during the preflight.

[@ronmiler5102]

Све у реду,върло добро.

[@nickcaci7238]

Are you all blind…? That tail plane stabilizer was fractured just before takeoff…maybe compromise at time of takeoff. His feedback was confusing as well as its stability for control was gone. Where was his preflight inspection???

[@krassihg]

Nick, this is effect from the 360 camera. I use that type of cameras all the time. If not edited properly in the software of the camera in post editing, it does that "broken" effect. It is not a broken tail for sure.

[@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals]

Camera glitch.

The keel isn't broken. It's a software stitching error. Look at the parachute bridle at the top of the frame at 2.49. The stitching error extends from the keel to the parachute bridle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qouUfImci96paZo

I believe that’s an optical illusion where the boom for the fish eye lens camera connects to the tail boom, no? Because it stays “broken” in the same way all through and even after the crash-neither half has moved in relation to the other at the visual breakpoint.

с самого начало полета и во время, крыло вело себя не устойчиво, плохо реагировало на управление и с большим запозданием и это опасно, Во время сваливания крыла не возможно вывести крыло в стабильный полет из за не стабильности самого крыла . Не понятно то ли поломка хвоста то ли конструкция такая, я не думаю что пилот а пилот опытный, мог так лохануться и проглядеть поломку а если проглядел это уже повод пересмотреть подход к полетам, чревато в будущим к более серьезным последствиям, не расслабляйся пилот.
