Hi Tucker I am the pilot in the water crash. Thanks for your comment on my video. Two days before I was reading all about water crashes and it recommended not to flair when landing in water to avoid getting snagged up in the lines if the wing falls on you. Landing at full speed was soft as you like I would like to do all my landings like this if it wasn’t a pain in the ass striping the motor down and cleaning it. P.S. The piston ring had melted so it lost all compression.

Glad you are ok - and when Tucker talked about trying restarting the engine I was like ?!!?? because it sounded as if it seized. It could be caused by lean running, og by using fuel that had been stored for too long. My experience is that 2 months is max. for storing mixed fuel. (In the most cases the fuel will still be ok, but once in a while the gas will break down the oil. Happened to me with three months old fuel, fortunately only a chainsaw, but it will kill any 2stroke). What did you put into the engine, new cylinder + piston + rings + bearing?

@@jahsunshine8891 as a new pilot I never watch Paragliding or PPG crashes except when Tucker is commenting on them for the betterment of the PPG community. I have learned SO much from his "crash videos" that make me a better/safer pilot. Without his commentary and adding context crash video's are unnecessary and upsetting!

As a scuba diver, the second crash was interesting because it mirrors a common point of consideration/discussion in diving; task loading. There are a number of things you need to constantly be doing and checking underwater to keep yourself safe (like when flying a paramotor) and it's very important to ensure you are not overloading yourself with too many tasks for your comfort/skill level otherwise you'll end up missing things that will put you at risk. As you gain experience, tasks become easier and require less mental energy and focus, so it's easier to juggle more tasks while remaining safe. When you're first starting though, leave all the complications (cameras, more complicated gear setups, slates, spearfishing, etc.) at home and stick to a simple set so that even if something "unexpected" happens, you have some spare mental bandwidth to handle the issue without putting yourself at risk.

Learn to swim well, Tucker! You're built the way I was at your age, and I was a competitive swimmer in high school (still strong for my old-fart age). With inflated lungs, most humans float. Even when exhausted, all we need to do to keep our faces out of the water is inhale deeply, exhale shallowly, and tread water slowly. You said in a more recent video that you're trying to increase your skill set. Here's a challenge for you! No one should ever drown in calm, reasonably warm water.

My first thought is that you're now gonna have a bunch of guys trying full flips in paramotors and a bunch of new videos to share what NOT to do! Good luck everyone! Be safe!

AND THE KICK IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

The PPG videos I enjoy the most are those errors and crashes analysis ones, because they're the ones I learn more from.

Hell ye tuck love it man

i love your videos Mr. Gott

Such a fine line between showing off and safety first ... like water skidding .... and flying close to objects and mountains ... which avert the air flows and can change winds ... safety is maintaining 500 feet period ... no wing touching ... and laughing RIP ...

2:16 Good job the tree stopped him rather than the palisade fence with the pointy spikes on top.

man i love you vids.

Every landing attempt includes the option to go around. Only when you touch down are you committed to land. Any approach that is not stablized is an accident waiting to happen.

Bro, that rocket loop is on another level. Can't wait to see you do it 😉

Some times your engine and carb. are more important than wing. The looping man had a good ER chute handy, a loss of engine momentum and chute collapse.

Honestly I'm not eager at all so see where nr.5 will go , as most probably this acro manoeuvre will gift wrap a pilot at some point. I really hope I'm wrong and slightly paranoid. All the best to you ! Thanks for this analysis videos.

We’ve got (two) guys off my beach here in FL, that do “seemingly” crazy spins / spirals incredibly low to the ocean. Their turns break beyond what we’d call 90° of bank in an airplane. I keep telling my buddies we’re gonna’ see them die. Well yesterday, guy enters a spin that seemingly got away from him with multiple rotations, he throttled up full blast, just by the skin of his teeth recovering maybe 5-10ft off the water. These same guys also fly FEET above umbrellas and sunbathers on the sand. Seemingly insane behavior as compared to the rest of the paramotors that seemingly act like we would in an airplane. I can fly a Cessna, I don’t know much about these wings… but these guys seem like they need to be reported to the FAA and more aptly are gonna’ ruin the freedoms of beach flying for the good guys. Am I off base here? Is it common to do spins with + 90° bank over the ocean at less that 100ft? Are these things easier to recover than I understand? What say you?

Yep. Someone is going to get cocooned in the wing trying this. That's my biggest fear-- falling into the canopy and being so wrapped up and tangled I cannot throw a reserve.

I've been taught to not flare on water landings as to allow the wing to surge forward and let the open leading edge become sealed by the water so then it's full of air still and doesn't just turn into a wet blanket that consumes you. flaring into water would risk having the wing fall ontop. in any circumstance...water landing is all bad.

I don’t agree with the advice at 3:00. If you are going into half brakes and are low to the ground you need to hold half brakes and finish the flare into the landing. Do not dump it and then flare or you’ll eat the dirt. I’m a skydiver and paramotor pilot as well and this has been taught through all the schools on canopy control I have taken.
