5 SIMPLE SAFETY RULES ... for when paragliding goes wrong!

thanks

thanks great tips

hello Greg,
I wondered why it landed in the sand, in fact there was a suitable landing area on the left.

Thank you

Big fan sir

What inputs can you use to stop a frontal before it happens?

Valeu!

It pays to have your lines checked (by yourself or a shop).
I've seen brake lines 10cm shorter than what they should be. Really bad, especially if you are approaching the landing and pulling "hard" to slow down (a bit of over shooting, may be 😉?). There you go with a spin and no margin to recover (or , even worse) a full stall.

Hi Gregg, could you make a video on, landing with a broken brake line?? I have typed in landing with c risers.. and nothing has come up!!🤔🤔 keep up the good work, fly safe👍👍

My lines are tangled at this very minute and this clown has no rule for that. Oh sh!tt

I knew all this info and never used yet, but this video is very reassuring. Thanks.

Hi Greg,can I ask you what do you think about a glider change between skywalk arak size s and the new advance epsilon dls size xs?I m a quite fear pilot and on my skywalk I m nine kilos under the limit of the wing.thank you so much for your help

I love Turkey

Brilliant video, thanks. I went Oludeniz on holiday 12 or 13 years ago and didn't plan on going paragliding, we both did a tandem and absolutely loved it. Life gets in the way and time passes you by... Shit happens, and all of a sudden I'm 40yo, single and unemployed, just before Christmas, so what to do? Last week I booked my EP out in Spain, can't wait!

best safety advice is stay on the ground and let the other guy go up there and remember to wave at him...if he gets into difficulty try guide him to safety but do this from the ground....and again remember...always stay on the ground. .

I was there a over month ago and indeed Jockey is excellent! Cool to see you guys collab'ing. Looks like November/December is a good time to go play, beach is clear, no tourists!

Very useful video, thanks!
What is the reserve handle type on the pod (Strike2 ?)

Great video! But you are missing one important point: check your hight!

I personally pull in my legs and lean into the collapsed side before any rotation happens, when the collapses are very big. Otherwise, for smaller collapse, I would pull my legs in and lean on the uncollapse side. I often have 75% collapse where I am flying so it may not be relevant to most viewers.

Golden tips. thank you for sharing your knowledge with Us.

damn bro thanks for making these awesome!!!

Thanks man.

Welcome to beaitiful Oludeniz Greg, Wish to you here more often. Thanks for the video

Thanks Greg, Nice refresher for us first time XC pilots…👋

A+

The collaboration between you and Jockey is the best it could exist! 💪🏻 You've just created one of the best instruction paragliding team! I follow you both since the beginning of my flying career! 😊💪🏻 Good luck! But I don't have doubts!

If you are low, and your imput did not helped (or made it worse) DO NOT HASITATE TO THROW RESERVE PARACHUTE

Thanks for the video, Greg! Or half of it anyways. ;P

Greg the issue with your rule 1 is in my limited experience (2 big collapses) things are happening superfast in micro seconds, in my case I was being thrown / spun / yanked around like a doll ........so not sure how I would have leaned back gently and looked up to figure out qhat was happening. Your suggestions may work if it's ALL Happening in slow motion or at a slower pace. In my first collapse I fell almost 800 - 1200 + feet before the glider recovered on its own.

THIS is one of the best PG "basic rules " Vids ive seen , this should be sold to ALL novices starting out . Something so simple as this can save your life . Shot Greg , go well mate .

Why don't you recommend a full stall to clear a cravat, as the final remedy before throwing reserve? My understanding is that deep cravats can only be fixed by full stalling, which may take several stalls to fully clear.

The best safety is, that pilots choose a wing according to their annual flight hours and flight experience.. This is a big problem

Thanks Greg, Really useful video, as always. I am a paramotor pilot and I am off to New Zealand on Monday. While Im there I am hoping to get my fist experience of a paraglider and fly with my son who lives and flys out there.

Interesting. I had a spin recently after messing up my entry into a thermal. I thought my reaction was good but I now see it could have been better. I went hands up but did not think to catch the dive. Tbh I was just happy to let the wing fly again. Obviously after the dive came a very strong resource and then another very powerful dive which was straightforward enough to catch. About time I head out to my first SIV I think😅
