Common PARAGLIDING CRASHES ... and how to avoid them!

Hey, Greg. Great video!

شي مدهش .❤

Thanks from Spain! For all what you do for this beautifull sport! We talk a lot in the club about your videos!

9 in 10 collapse accidents are stalls by pilots panicking after a collapse.

Thanks for Ur Service

You are all right . l am from bangladesh . How are you ?

yeah cool i fly tandems and I really liked this

Legend Greg Love from Nepal ❤❤🙏🙏

These are some GREAT vids with solid tips!
Just curious: did you leave Flybubble a while ago, and I simply didn't realize it? Thx

thanks for sharing these precious tips... risk management and a careful pre-flight plan can avoid most of the risk but anticipation really plays a key role in our sport

I've been wanting to paraglide for years, but the statistics for accidents just seem to high :(

I m pilot for this sport I like this a lot

Cool Greg! I just did an SIV with Jockey, he's great. Found my weak spots to work on, had a blast!

Hi Greg. could you explain more about the butterfly technique? the beach landing mentions that this would save the guy from hitting the rocks. I guess putting 20% breaks to steepen the glide could also help. I'm a beginner and I'm trying to learn as much prevention as possible :-)

Active flying is definitely the key, I've been flying a high-B wing for two years now and haven't had a single collapse! Unfortunately I find most instructional videos difficult, they always talk about the forward and backward movement of the wing that you have to stop, but I don't actually react to the movements at all but to the different pressures in the glider and the thus changing control forces! Maybe this would be a good topic for a video!
;-)

I miss being one of the first members of FWG..... good stuff!

Great info

Much appreciated!

Much appreciated!

Great video, thanks.

I’m still a beginner so maybe not qualified to say this but what I personally don’t like and see happening, often without good results, is when a pilot pulls up his wing, turns and prepares himself for a launch, another pilot rushes over and pushes them out without asking. I’ve seen pilots get dumped into bushes and trees this way and I find it very annoying as those few seconds I’m stabilizing the wing and feeling the wind and don’t have a penetration problem or if I do I like to retain the control and wait for the gust to reside. I think someone should only do that if the pilot asks for it first! It seems normal practice in czech when there are groups on the ground waiting their turn.

Who is the moron launching in Valle de Bravo Greg!?!? Oh yeah! Its me!😂😂😂 Learned a lot since then thanks to You and practicing a whole lot!!

I saw two failed launches for the first time recently. Everyone was fine in both cases, but it was scary to see how fast something can go wrong. I think in both cases, slowing down and actually kiting their gliders for a moment to check the lines with the wing flying overhead, or notice and fix the rather large asymmetric collapse, would have saved them.

I stopped the Video at the beginning my predictions are:
1. Go do Groundhandling
2. Learn and Practice Active Flying
3. Check your Lines at the Launch properly
Lets see where it is taking me....

your omega in the salty water of ouldeniz... what a tragedy :O :Z

Love your videos, as a begginer pilot they are awesome

Hi bro I m paraglider and today I have also save life of another paraglider
