In this video, I wanted to dive into the biggest dangers of paramotoring and how to avoid them. Of course, there are many other aspects to pay attention to, but these are the biggest ones that seem to be occurring in recent history. Stay tuned for some nitrous action and hopefully a new paramotor drive thru run. 😀

You covered the major ones for sure. I'm a Weight shift Trike pilot....(trike mobile thing) I think you called it in a previous video lol. You guys are really hard to spot. My aircraft has transponder, and I will prob add adsb in and out. It would be cool if they make adsb affordable and compact enough for paramotors. Seeing you guys on my ipad would be awesome. For now though, bright strobes on a paramotor help tremendously! If you can afford/add bright strobes, or led lights, that would be an additional level of safety for all of us. Tucker, check out my little youtube channel. Give me a shout sometime. Peace and subbed ;)

@@pilot3016 - Interesting. How many flights and flight hours did it take to get your sailplane license? In the US, it usually takes a few months to get a glider license. You only need 40 hours for a Private Pilot Certificate and only 10 hours for a Sport Pilot Certificate. Most people average about 50% more time than that. And, you can knock out the written knowledge test before you even start flight training. As far as knowing about aerodynamics and meteorology, you don’t need a pilot certificate for that. The Aeronautical Decision Making will come with time and experience (and, learning from the mistakes of others).

@deanfowlkes Not sure on the hours. It gets complicated with sailplanes. (Different criteria) However, it took me about a year and a half if I remember correctly, and more money than a S.E.L. rating as you are also paying for the tows up. Worth every penny. 21,200 ft. (Legally) & 200 mile out and back X-C. Then bought a Glasflugel Libelle H-301 (flapped ship).

@@pilot3016 - That sounds awesome. The funny thing is that the US regs specifically requires both hours and numbers of flights for the glider certificate. It does make it difficult to track your time (starting when the aircraft is able to move under its own power) since you do not have a tach or engine clock. Did you use a glider club for your license? Tows at my club are fairly inexpensive. And, the instructors are pro bono.

They let me fly the Pegasus with winglets... then I bought a modified H-301 (Scheumanized wings and nose). What an incredible ship. Possibly the best handling sailplane ever built.

Great tips. Bottom line. Always try to stack things in your favor. I ride motorcycles, when I do I wear gear. Full helmet, armored jacket, boots gloves bright colors etc. l love to Scube. (Thousands of dives). Dive with buddy, back-up air, surface signal, knife, EPIRB (ELT) etc. I have crossed ocean on my sailboat Too long a list for that! Life is full of risk. But we can’t just crawl under a rock. Gear up properly and get professional training at the least. And enjoy!! Love you vids. Be safe. Also am private pilot and glider pilot. (Not current). I am now in my late seventies. Still here!! But did all of this and am still here because I did my best to stack things in my favor.

I think the one HUGE challenge not listed is flying in bad conditions. I hear from PPG friends all the time, "I probably should not have been up in that wind," after something bad has happened. For all of the risks you listed, there are mitigation strategies that can keep you flying. But with windy or gusty conditions, or heat of the day thermal conditions, the only real mitigation is not to fly.

In all seriousness - another risk (besides other paramotors) is other aircraft. Where you fly is super-important - and knowing airspace and where traffic is likely to be is vital. I do most of my flying from a small, rural airport (no tower). It typically sees 1-2 airplanes a day - and most of those are people shooting touch and goes on their way through. Because these folks are also typically fair-weather pilots, they are often in the air at the same times of day we are - and they can show up without warning. Even though this airport is small and quiet, I always look around to make sure nobody is landing in my takeoff/landing path. I once was ready to take off and after I did my engine run-up, it sounded louder than usual. I turned to look behind me - and here's this frickin' national guard blackhawk helicopter landing on the runway, not less than 60ft behind me! My wing was getting tossed all over the ground. The pilot realized he was kinda messing my shit up, so he took off and gave me a big thumbs up as he departed. Needless to say, I had to reset - but it just goes to show you that there IS traffic we have to be aware of!

I'd like to see...... recently I was viewing a KZbin video on how much does it cost to own/run an airplane. I'd like YOU to do the same. Of course there are variables in costs due to types of motors, wings, storage, insurance etc... but I'd really like to see some average numbers on the cost to own and operate a paramotor, because no one buys without knowing what its going to cost them to own and maintain a recreational item such as a paramotor without knowing the "how much" costs associated with owning it. PS: I enjoy viewing your sightseeing adventure flying videos. Many thanks...and I look forward to seeing the video with the answers to the above $$ questions.

I treat a PPG or PPC like a helicopter. Use the same "no flying below XX feet" to avoid lines, bridges, etc. However, there are a few "Tucker Gott - Zen Master" rules I have encoded into my brain. Here are a couple of them: "Do not fly over ANYTHING you don't want to land in. Swamps, Water, Dense Trees, etc" "If the wind is low enough that you can't comfortably fly a kite....that's a good day to fly"

I've lost two friends to low acro. Both times were cause they got that Kodak courage from people taking videos of them down low. Why even risk it? Most people are just amazed that you're in the air, no need to make an amazing event for them into a life scarring event cause you decided to crater yourself on a botched wingover. I love acro, but I have a personal hard lower-limit of nearly 2000ft, and really don't start throwing anything down till I'm above 4000ft.

Why have a reserve in a low flying sport ? I like altitude , cause I never " hot dog " . No fast turns,, No dragging feet, No wing touching . I can not even imagine any of those. I want max safety. I just take off , fly around normal and land. That's fun enough at age #79. ( also my survival trips I find adventure - in Arctic, Amazon, Panama, Philippines----- I am not a normal senior , ha.

I was thinking about going into this Sport since it is ideal on flat terrain (originally I wanted to fly hang gliders) and more or less cheap. But after informing and watching a couple of videos on KZbin it seems just do dangerous to me. My two points to add to this list: #1 beeng sucked in by a cloud und pulled up high thousands of meters and #2 - which is my greatest nightmare - the all of sudden collapsing of the wing. And it seems this can be triggered by various reasons: Turbulence in the air (helicopters) strange weather conditions or a by an unfortunate manoeuvre.

As a commercial diver I sometimes get too familiar with the water and living in that environment. I tend to forget my air supply is 100% finite also my exposure level is very restricted due to physiological limitations. I have pushed and pushed the boundaries to find the cliffs edge so to speak. Well I’ve come close, very close and too close to the edge of survival as you are doing. Statistical values, probabilities are just as real as clear and present dangers so; you have an idea where that limit is statistically; you will exceed it and pay for it just as I have many times. I know I’ve survive condition I’m certain many would have died. Som I tone it down often and try to preserve fear or respect alive to keep me alive. So:... Doing it safely means don’t do the risky stuff except on very rare occasion. Lower the risk Try using your acquired talents in redesigning safer wings or faster wings. They turning your adventurers into research, discovery and production. And why aren’t you guys using walkie-talkies?

I'm curious do you have to have a radio to communicate on the aviation channels to let other fix wing air Craft etc. Informed them of your location attitude etc?

I have questions. How do I obtain a paramotor? How much is a paramotor? How do I learn to fly one? Who do I network with to fly, and do this in a safe setting? I'm really interested in getting a paramotor. Though I don't have much money at all, how can I perhaps build one, or get one used? Thank you

Falling is not particularly dangerous as long as you miss the ground or other obstacles while doing so.

There are Old crop dusters and there are Bold crop dusters, but there are no Old and Bold crop dusters. Be careful dragging that wingtip, if it collapses you're going in the dirt fast and hard.

I was close to pulling the trigger and getting into the sport, until one lovely summer evening my paramotoring neighbor suffered some sort of failure and fell out of the sky into a field just behind my house. Shattered both legs and eventually had to have them amputated, crushed many vertebrae, broke countless other bones, and lives in 24/7 agony. Turned me off the idea pretty quickly and decisively.

It's not risk-less but hang-gliding is slightly safer than motorbike riding. Having structure to the wing means only the most extreme things like a collision would get a collapse. I've bought a sub 70Kg powered hang glider it has structure and wheels to take impacts before me. No guarantees it's just hedging some bets. The hang gliding I've done for 3 years and is the best experience.

Is there a " sm - light wt - 4 stroke motor " being made for this sport yet ? My friend has a couple PPC , but I do not want to " fly a bus ". Too big - need trailer - need more runway - etc.
