I am now a Paragliding Pilot since 4 Years - In that time I collected some Fails on Camera - there were many more but I failed to film them.
00:00 Knot at Launch
00:15 Almost Crashing into the Mountain
01:04 Lines sticking together
01:37 Crashstart on Mürren Birg
02:08 Broken Wrist at Launch
02:21 Student spins his Wing
02:51 Bad Top Landing
02:55 First Attempt
03:24 Second Attempt
04:00 Crashlanding1
04:30 Crashlanding2
Doing dumb errors is part of a learning Process, I know for all those Occasions what I or the Pilot did wrong and I wouldn't do it the same way anymore. Gladly no permanent Damage was done to people - only to Ego's.

I appreciate you sharing your difficult moments so that other pilots can learn - and hopefully avoid repeating. Thank you!

Danke fürs einstellen. Und tolle Selbstanalyse. Many happy Landings

I had a launch where my right break line was tension knotted to the B cascade and I couldn’t get it undone. I could only go straight with full weight shift and enough left break to not stall but fly straight, trying to turn left the glider would stall, I could let it veer right but anything more it would dive and want to spiral. I was in the air for 8 minutes getting a 3 to 1 glide with the right side of my wing essentially stalled, I couldn’t make it out of the canyon and my safest option was a crash landing in a tree near a trail. I had no injuries, besides some slight bruises and small scratches and none of my gear was damaged, I was very lucky, it was a very valuable lesson.

Woah, thanks for sharing! This is a horror scene for me. I think every now and then a small knot keeps a pilot honest and motivates him to check his Lines before Launch better. On the other Hand: I have a friend that never checks his lines and just pulls out the Glider and leaves, he never had a knot and i honestly don't know how.

@SkidzFPV Год назад

@@raphaeleymann yes, it was a terrifying experience, I had a high tension power line to cross and literally made it by less than 50’ after that I was happy to take a tree landing. I’m very thorough about checking my lines now, before flying, during building my wall and while kiting my glider up. I believe it has made me a safer pilot, but I should have never needed that experience to become a safer pilot. But we live and learn.

Nice :D

lots of incident thanks for sharing ! How much flight in total over these 4 years ?

@raphaeleymann 7 месяцев назад

In those 4 years I was able to do almost 500 flights. But I think with more experience come less incidents. Since the Video i had a Friend with a serious accident and once i launchef with a Knot.

@Daniel-fj8yx Год назад

machst du nur vorwärtsstarts?

@raphaeleymann Год назад

Nope, früher hab ich nur Rückwärts gestartet wenns ordentlich Wind hat. Seit letzter saison (also seit 2021) starte ich wenn immer möglich rückwärts. So haben sich die zwischenfälle für mich minimiert. Meine flugkameraden machen weiter mit vorliebe vorwärtsstarts. Trotzdem gibts z.b. auf der Breitlauenen (zweiter start wo mich der knoten richtung berg zieht) kaum verhältnisse wo ein rückwärtsstart möglich ist. Letztes jahr waren ca. 60% meiner starts Rückwärts und dieses Jahr bin ich auch bei über 50% laut Flugbuch

@raphaeleymann Год назад

Z.b: habe ich auch gewisse Startplätze an denen ich nur noch Starte wenn die Verhältnisse einen Rückwärtsstart zulassen -> Z.B. Mürren Birg

Top land with c's

@raphaeleymann 3 месяца назад

Thats a new one: how does steering with the c's make Toplanding easier?havent gotten that hint before and struggling to imagine whats changing.

Boring editing

@raphaeleymann Год назад

Thank you very much for your supportive comment. Sadly I found your one and only Video you uploaded not entertaining at all which makes us even! What exactly could I have done better at editing? Not that I think its perfect, just maybe its something I could implement easily?

@chrislafra4945 Год назад

@@raphaeleymann I invite you to do better at playing piano as much as i do when i go paragliding for example.

@raphaeleymann Год назад

@@chrislafra4945 thank you again for your supporting comment, your hint on what to do better in the editing still eludes me... Maybe I am missreading your comments... Sorry if I do - please enlighten me with your knowledge of editing Senpai!

@chrislafra4945 Год назад

Stay safe and improve your paragliding skills instead of thinking 'bout editing progression. The more you fly paragliding the less you need editing video of your failures.

@raphaeleymann Год назад

@@chrislafra4945 same to you. I am working hard on my safety: flying as much as possible, going to SIV and overall reflecting on my mistakes regularly with friends and teachers AND now the public. May you fly safe and always have happy landings!
