Dumb mistake leads to Near death experience - Both reserve parachutes failed - Paragliding crash
First of all, I walked away after the crash with only a minor bruise(not even scratches).
Kössen, Austria 13.08.2022
Inattention and routine was my main mistake on this last flight. Both reserves got caught up and i didn't got them out. Impact was softend by the Harness-protector.
Hope you can learn from this video.
Happy to be alive, happy to be unhurt.
Fly safe ;-)
This video features a paraglider flying over a picturesque mountainous region dotted with villages. The danger comes from the paraglider's wing partially collapsing mid-flight, causing a rapid descent. The paraglider deploys their reserve parachute as a safety measure, indicating they are equipped and trained for such emergencies. The pilot's actions and the presence of other paragliders in the area suggest they are likely experienced. The paraglider is the only person directly affected by the wing collapse. While the video ends before the landing, the potential aftermath could range from a safe landing under the reserve parachute to severe injury if the reserve fails or the landing is poorly executed. The cloudy sky visible in the video could be a contributing factor to the wing collapsing.
