Lots of space on this site! Why not doing a longer straight glide from your left? In the height, where the glider started to spin, you already could have had your legs out of the pod. Maybe doesnt look cool enough, but better than diving into ground in flying Position. Have seen many guys bombing in, because they could not get their feet out of the impress.
That wing recovery was super quick which saved this pilot from Injury, but at treetop height should he(she) not be out of the pod harness ready for landing? I have a lot to learn about this kind of malfunction and the causes of it but it seems like a bit of pilot error combined with less than ideal conditions, anyone who knows better please enlighten us all. Speed is your friend when trying to keep a wing inflated and it appears to me the pilot tried to slow it down way too much. Just my novice observations.
Thank you for sharing, i mostly agree with the other comments but i must say the glider really recovert great and very fast things happens i had one spin like that as i reallyy wanted to fully turn small heavy thermals and forced my wing into a turn as result i spon like 30 meters up right next to a cliff ^^ wasnt fun at all
Proof that the Cayenne 5 is a VERY safe glider, too heavy-handed in manouvres, not allowing the wing to build speed before the next turn. It's like he was doing wing-overs without actually allowing the wing to build up speed/energy.
He spin the glider. Luckily, there were no cravat while exiting spin. Glider might turn right very fast on left side to the ground if that was the case.
Excellent piloting!! Very precise correction... just at the right moment. Incredible!! Great slow motion too. Very high quality. Kind regards from Colombia in South America. What a weird collapse! Was the wind coming down the mountain?
As others say, it was a spin induced by turning too slow. In the pilots defense, you can see there was some thermal activity that made coming down hard, and probably contributed to the spin too. Kudos for going hands up and allowing it to recover quickly.
@@jonathansummerfield8390 Please share your expert advice for when it get´s floaty or bubbly just before final approach and you have little space to manouver.
@@quoth_raven I didn't want to criticize you. I meant some people do mostly coastal soaring and other fly only in moutains with stronger conditions. So no offence :-) As I dont know the topographic situation its difficult to give you an answer. Instead of S-turns you could go for big ears and glide in from the side. In stead of killing the dynamic of your wing go for more dynamic turns - wing over like to kill altitude.
@@quoth_raven I dont want to compare regular pilots to the pros, but I did fly with Patrik von Känel once and the landing precision on small peaks in the alps is insane.
@@jonathansummerfield8390 no offense taken or meant ;) personally I'm not comfortable with ears on landing (less manouverability due to having your hands full and also being in speed) or with too dynamic turns close to the ground... but kudos to the pilots that master those techniques. I'm not sure they should be generalized though.
The amount of misleading comments here amazes me. The conditions: The wind is not too strong and quite laminar. Look how easy it is to bring the glider into the air and just stand there. The wind turbines: the wind turbines are downwind and have no effect whatsoever. Look at the windsock, look at the direction of take-off. The stall: the stall was very predictable. He is using too much break during every stage of his flight. On take-off and in flight. The first take-off was actually the scariest but for me. Look how the glider wants to go after he leaves the ground. Cause off accident: hard to say. If I were allowed to speculate I would say that the glider/motor combination is not good. He has to lift his arms very high in order to fly with out applying the brakes. If I would be the pilot I would make the brakes a kitty bit longer for a more comfortable arm position during take-off, flying and landing, but please take this with a pinch off salt. I am not a motor paragliding pilot, just mountains and ridge soaring for me ;)
@@calikalbocalikalbo6082 asking a question is not rude but you might consider if using the f word is. But who am I to lecture you. I see that you have deleted your slightly offensive initial question question. Thank you and always happy landings
The dude was braking to much his cayenne5, He was already flying to slow, when he caused a negative spin, luckily the glider forgave his error and let him land safely.
