i love the comment session. Everybody is a professor. 2,47 minuts apparently it's more than enaugh to know the wind, the weather condition, the pilot, the glider and also his mother name. Great reaction with the reserve. thx for sharing
Lots of things to take away from this video for your next flight but the quick decision to throw the reserve was perfect. I have shown some student this video today as its an excellent example of the quick reactions needed when you are low down and things go wrong. Well done. :-)
Man what a shock! But your rescue deployment was spot on. Thanks for sharing the video, this way we can all learn from mistakes. Always happy landings!
Typical thermal behaviour. Wenn entering the canopy shoots backwards, that was the moment the pilot grabbed the risers, and the the exit from it wenn the canopy shoots forward aggressively. Thats the moment to stop the overshooting, which obviously didn't happen. But great reflexes on the reservethrow i must say i am impressed.
OK after watching this about 50 times. I would say that I am not sure that I could have stopped the collapse but I do think that you should have been pulling left brake to reduce or stop the rotation. That would at the very least give you more time to deploy. But you walked away so well done and thanks for posting.
As everyone told here before, do not hold your risers, cause you won’t feel any feedback from the wing. I’m very glad for you that you pulled your reserve that quick and that you’re allright! Even the reservebag landed nearby, shortly after you came down ;-)
