Golden has a run every year (called the "Climb"), to the top of this mountain. It humbles those who "think" they are super fit runners (like me). I was running 20 miles a week for years, and I worked in this run one year. I WAS greatly humbled.

looks like he stalled a wing tip due to poor approach . He turned when he should have been touching down and he flaired quite high up causing a lot of turbulance on the wing. straight approach low to the ground and push up when at landing/or approaching stall speed.

Stall, stall , stall

I'm looking at this with interest, I'm still learning my take off and landing in a small school hill. If I analyze this I would think you were maybe long, you pushed your bar and nose to much, not enough speed and not enough head wind for going so slow. Needless to say I would like to avoid such a landing.

Fly high Kevin!

Thats easier then a M20 c

La metiste en perdida antes de hacer el giro !!!!!!!!!,y con un ala avansada,,,,que raro

Thanks for this. Perfect video and really showed the process.

Great video!

I once crashed at takeoff because I let my kite’s left wing protrude too much and the uplift wind turned the kite to the right

So here is something I learned by watching the Italians land: fly with high speed close to the ground to get into ground-effect and then change position and smoothly push out. That way if you stall the glider the ground is only a few inches away! Here is a video (though I strongly disagree with the low-to-the-ground-turns!) ruclips.net/video/5u--RwgkTpw/видео.html

Everyone please read the Bible !

Saudações desde o Brasil!

That ladies and gentlemen is a classic stall from over pitching a wing.

He pushed out and nearly stalled.

Stalled the wing, oops.

Damn TAVO! where is this?

With strong wind, and the obstacles (trees) ahead and right from the launch direction. The rotors under the right wing are highly probable. Next time try to launch 50 m to the left, an you will be Ok

If you can walk away from a landing, it was a good landing. If the aircraft can fly again, it was a great landing.

Oh the humanity.

Let’s see, do I use my legs for landing or for limping back from the crash site?

Definitely a good lesson. Broken down tubes, some damage to gear is a cheap way to learn valuable lessons. Glad you are ok. I’m not a HG pilot but plan on learning, I am however a PG pilot (P3, with enough hours for P4 just haven’t taken the test yet, I have all requirements except one, I need to fly 2 more canopies before i can get my p4) but that being said I’ve had a couple “cheap lessons” myself, luckily nothing more than some scratches, light bruises, and a couple hours getting my glider out of a tree. Actually no damage to any of my gear, but valuable lessons learned. Complacency sneaks up on you, and you can think you’re not doing anything that is any different than what you do every time, but like you said, high density altitude will definitely increase your stall speed, and you might be able to float down like that in a valley that’s 2,000’ msl, but 5,000’ msl is a completely different story. Glad that you came out unscathed, at least mostly.

Thanks for posting this, Tavo! (We met at crested butte a few years ago :). It looks like your glider had too little energy when you attempted that left turn. You were already on the downtubes while 15ft in the air. It was going to be bad even if you did not initiate the turn, as there was no energy left to flare. I would suggest getting into ground effect with lot more energy (speed, bar pressure) and do not get on the downtubes fully till you are about ready to flare. I can understand how fatigue of a long flight can cloud your judgement. Thus practice practice practice, so it becomes a muscle memory :)

I read the description. Probably the only person on earth to do so, based on the comments.

A bit of training seems to be needed.

That's what happens when you pretend to be a giant flying slug

DOH!

0:21 is such an "oh, sh.." moment for folks who's been there and done that. Hope you are well.

If you push the envelope, the envelope sometimes pushes back. PS- i've lost count of the number of one-wing stall videos, pilots do it all the time by trying to turn while flying too slow, including powered aircraft big and small..:)

好像不是很成功的降落呀？

Doesn’t look like he was ready to land when he wanted to land.

Why don’t you land back up on the hill..so you can take off again, up there?

Good on you for posting this along with the mea culpa. Ignore the negative comments as about 98% of them have never flown a hang glider and have no clue what it's like. I flew them for about 10 years in the 70's and 80' starting with a 17' standard and finishing with a FD Demon. It's a demanding, unforgiving, exhilarating sport, but you've got to be on your game 100% of the time. Clear skies to you.

I just thought of something,,, how do these hang gliders know their stall speed,,, they don’t have any instruments

gone upright too soon and fly speed too slow means stall and crash landing.. just fly faster.. speed is your friend while hang gliding...

This clown has no business hang gliding. He was five seconds away from breaking his neck.

He was looking good until he was in high drag, pitched the nose up a bit, got too slow, stall. That was a classic stall.

Shiittty teachers get ssshhhiiitttyyy pilots.

He’s flying down wind then attempts a 180 degree turn into the wind to land. He might have been successful if he only had another 300ft of altitude to complete the maneuver and land safely. Total loss of altitude awareness. Hopefully, he wasn’t injured.

And this is why we have the Federal Aviation Administration.

Give up now while you still have a life 😂

1970's meccano set got bent

He stalled it at the last minute to high, needed more speed on approach

Landed and ok..pass from here.

A landing is alyways as good as it's preperation.

It's not the fall that kills you. It is the sudden stop at the bottom. Airborn whoa.

Primary failure. I hope you are well and respect for sharing! Thanks alo

Low + slow = rekt

Maybe was running out of landing strip, slowed everything down and stalled !!

respect for sharing! Thanks alot 💪
