I always try to look at the bright side of things and learn from them, specially if they're incidents. Let's go behind the scenes of my tree landing misadventure and learn what went wrong and how I could've avoided it. I'll also give you a couple of safety tips and show you what happened to the mushrooms!

@gaetanproductions 4 месяца назад

OMG what an adventure ! I agree with all your end points.. specially flying when one's mind and body is in a good space...

@handlebullshit Год назад

That is why i almost always, even in no wind, do reverse launches. So much easier to spot issues like this early on and abort.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Yes, reverse launches are perfect for spotting problems and I prefer them as well, but since this launch is so short and shallow, there was very little wind, and I had a bag hanging from my chest strap, a reverse launch was too complicated.

Holy smokes.......what a story! Glad it all worked out!!

@hchallenator Год назад

Thanks sharing your experience! I find it valuable.

@AussieDangerDave Год назад

Thanks for sharing! People can certainly be critical, which is why so many people don't have the courage to share their mistakes. Loved the analysis, very helpful.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Thanks for watching! I think it’s silly not to share our mistakes as everyone can learn from them. ✌🏻

@Hellrun1 Год назад

This was very helpful. Thank you. :)

@danocorley Год назад

Great video, thank you for sharing! I had a very similar event in the high alpine USA for many of the same reasons. It is so empowering to hear testimony and constructive breakdown of mistakes from high level pilots like yourself. And those mushrooms look amazing! I am looking forward to our H&F season, 2023 is going to be a glorious year of exploring, adventure and flying!

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I think learning from our mistakes is very important and it's also important to understand that we can all make mistakes. All the best for 2023!

Very informative as usual Thanks so much for sharing Love your vids 😊

@Marco_Campazas Год назад

Thanks for share your incident and conclusion. Learn from mistakes off the other people it’s always good. I hope you fixed your glider and yourself, next paragliding season is not so far 💪💪💪!!

@ThibaultROHMER Год назад

Great insights. Thank you so much for sharing your mishap. Glad your ok and that the mushrooms made it home!

@cristianomayer3216 Год назад

thanks so much for that, joanna! since i had almost the same accident in spring this year, your analysis helps a lot while i am reflecting my own case 😊 fly safe and have a happy new year 🎉 cristiano

Thank you ☺️👌🏼

@BrentHandy77 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your experience with us - it takes a lot of courage but it's so helpful for all of us! At the end of the day it seems like the root cause of the incident is being human... we are all susceptible to these kind of things but all things considered I'd say you thought very clearly in the moment. I think it was a very smart call to fly under control straight ahead. Glad it all worked out! Thanks again.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

@user-ef6un5mj5g Год назад

Thank you very much for sharing! I also experienced a tree landing in the past. One additional lesson learned for me was, to never fly with short trousers. Some mistake during start or landing and one gets it directly on the bare skin.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

You're right. That incident has also made me think about that as well.

@Itsallgoodtogo Год назад

I'm always amazed that people don't look up after they get the wing over their head on forward launching ... A simple glance would have made it obvious.

@raphaeleymann Год назад

Thats also what surprised me - Even if you don't do Wingcheck on a regular basis, the Wing must've felt very different and at this point she should've taken a look before acclerating. Also she doesn't even mention that she didn't look at her Wing during launch and kind of misses the point of what she did wrong (knots can happen but should be seen during a Launch) and brings up excuses for her failures, instead of just owning the failures brushes over it and focusses on the Mushrooms. Glad shes ok anyway :-)

thx for sharing

@barrywebber100 Год назад

I admire your serious, rational, and constructive outlook of an unsettling scary event. Your english language skills are also amazing. So glad that you got through without serious injury. Did you incur any expensive rescue fees for the fire brigade/helicopter teams? If so were you covered by any insurance? Thanks for posting.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Thanks for your kind words! Here in France, our social security covers for the rescue and my paragliding license includes third-party insurance and repatriation if I’m abroad. We’re pretty grateful for the health care we have!

@airgaborpara3824 Год назад

First : Dont eat mushrooms before take off. Second, you supposed to land after that fence and third this magic trick better with Gin Leopard, haha. That tree was very high and skinny. Glad that you were safe

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

🤣

@aiklantay8856 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this and how to be better prepared for something like this. I nearly crashed into a tree 3 wks ago while flying a new site near to a ridge in thailand. I am still shaken everytime I review the video. I think I got complacent because the same route had been flown many times earlier without incident. I lost height just before approaching trees and marginally got through them. In hindsight I should have flown further away from ridge to be safe.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

thanks for sharing your story. I'm happy you didn't crash! Yes, it's easy to get complacent but it's good to learn from our experiences.

@anto2699 Год назад

The Safety is the tree landing. Good to see that every thing went ok 😊

@edwinlooy6551 Год назад

Great that you are okay😊 Great explaination. Didn't see the cravat last time in the video. Having a phone in the sidepocket is what i always do. I don't have a first aid kit with me. But a also winder how i would reach it if it's in the back of the harness.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Yes, it was hard to see on the previous video as everything happened so fast. Regarding the first aid kit, I had inside the top pocket of my rucksack, so it was easy to reach. Maybe your harness/rucksack has top or side pockets? Thanks for watching!

@al9000mm Год назад

Glad all went well! as they say here among pilots, " somewhere around there is a tree with your name on it" 😉

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

I'd rather have a tree with my name because I planted it, hehehehe. But well, things happen. 😂

@raoulduke1914 Год назад

good analysis and a lot to learn from this of course, thank you! where is this site by the way?

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Glad you liked it! This site is called Marlens, near Annecy in France.

@ThibaultROHMER Год назад

The important hike and long mushroom collect was probably affecting your energy level (expressed in the previous video if i recall), thus a contributing factor: little bit fatigued at takeoff, maybe dehydrated?, less lucid => preflight uncomplete

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Yes, there were definitely lots of factors that came together for this to happened. Fatigue was one of them as well. Thanks for watching!

@sonamchoephel5340 Год назад

Leading edge of the suspension lines After the inflation phase - at the same time as braking and stabilizing the canopy - you look up at the canopy. You check the leading edge and lines: > Are all cells open and filled? If this is not the case, pump the brake lines (> alternately quickly pulling and releasing the control lines) until the entire leading edge is open. > No knots in the suspension lines? Also in this case helps ev . Pump, otherwise the start should be aborted.❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

@JoarABTheflyingraven Год назад

You say that you was not mentaly prepared to fly. With everything going on. This is also were I am struggling to be honest with myself. An important point on the airmanship list. Good to see you safe down from the 🌳

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

It's interesting to see how the mental part of our sport is so important. I understand how you feel. Safe flights and happy new year!

@IsmailGul212 Год назад

So your glider + harness + reserve is 7 kg in total? (excluding other possible accessories/bags)

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

Yes, this setup was around 7kg including helmet, jacket, and survival kit. I never flew it with a reserve because I don’t do any thermal flying with it.

@williamcapps6120 Год назад

Maybe this is just my American brain, but I can't help but wonder if you had to pay the helicopter. A rescue like that in America would cost as much as my house.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

No, I didn't have to pay the helicopter directly, we pay it with our taxes. Regarding how things are in America, not sure which country you're referring to. I guess things work differently from one country to the other, because I'm originally from Venezuela and helicopter rescues are non existent! Cheers!

@williamcapps6120 Год назад

USA. Last time I got a decent cut I needed 5 stitches. I got a bill from the hospital the emergency room was in, the emergency room itself, and the doctor in the emergency room who's nurse actually did the stitches... Total was almost three thousand dollars.

@joannadigrigoli Год назад

@@williamcapps6120 😮Yikes! That's super expensive! I hope you won't ever need a helicopter rescue!

@franckr6159 Год назад

@@williamcapps6120 Getting injured in America may cost you a fortune indeed, but fortunately not in France because we pay taxes. A few ideologized Americans call taxes "robbery", in France and in Europe we just consider they are the guarantee of our quality of life. Political choices do impact people's lifes.
