LUCK

pilot did extremely well to deploy his reserve given his extreme rate of turn and the g-forces he had to withstand. The parachute bridle is lengthened to enable it to clear the aerial wreckage and behaved precisely as designed. The reserves are not cut-away on a hanglider.

Medals and applause to the rescue boat who reacted perfectly.

He was coming down fast. That water landing was a blessing.

These parachutes are always advanced quickly, up to 5 m * s-1. That is why it is good to have a parachuting course with training on a simulator for a special way of impact, when the body goes into an arc ...). Definitely the pilot should do any work, if possible different. That the parachute was not wound into the kite is only luck, not the art of the pilot, and the acrobatics were not in accordance with what the kite can withstand, so it was a big irresponsibility. Apparently he was a very young pilot and all that remains is to wish him a long life, because such pilots have a very short lifespan.

Mike Breen Sexist.... It was a transsexual....

In this case it was the high g-loading on the base-bar (thing you hold on to)induced by radical aerobatic maneuvers (high speed entry into turns). Additionally the carbon base tube was apparently weakened by previous damage. This is one of the rare hang gliding accidents attributable to equipment failure. 99.9% are pilot error. A little bit of both in this one.

What a well trained pilot! He was lucky that day!

*This was a real CLIFF HANGER! Boy had some altitude. Happy to see a safe landing.*

Soft wet landing and boats on scene makes a good ending, watching the high stress manoeuvres I was waiting for the fold. Great flying though.

A big thanks to the boat which calculated WHERE the parachute is going to land. Bravooo

I've never witnessed a collapse like that before. They generally use Grade 8 fasteners, so that was some serious force on that particular bolt(s). You know the pilot had a nice adrenaline headache, after that.

good demonstration of pilot control..

wow, what if the hand glider spun into the parachutes ropes??

ive seen paragliders doing chute testing over water. the harness is heavy dont think id like to try it without the saftey boat. what gave way on the glider was it not to spec for aerobatics or had a fault.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but he would have required great strength to pull his arms in against that spin and then to locate the parachute. You can see his arms flail back out at speed as soon as the chute is away.

It probably broke because he was inverted. Hang gliders are designed to support a weight hanging below them, not supporting the weight of the wing inverted. It requires additional support wiring on the top which, unless it's a high-performance glider intended to for loops and wingovers, probably isn't there.

I don't think stocks are certified for high G loads in aerobatics..... If it was beefed up .....it wasn't enough.

I really don't know because he was slowed by the glider but without the parachute the water don't give more safety,isn't it? I really don't know, Im just learning and I don't wanna try to probe anything :p. I think that the glidder was very clever waiting the moment to launch the parachute. PD: English is not my language, sorry for any mistake.

Thank God he survived!

With the exception of high-performance gliders built for it, hang gliders aren't designed to be inverted (upside down). Most of the wires that support the frame are set up in such a way to support a weight hanging underneath, not supporting a wing that's inverted.
