What do you do to get into the stratosphere just once. And where do you go? In a field. Unlucky! 😂

Mad skills, bro!!! Nicely done.

These are feathers to the weather, you need ultra calm for these leaves to cope in :-y

So many smart people in the comments. I'm just happy the man is on the ground.

Cut da cords

Whaw, cool head, cold blood, respect my friend glad you're ok after that

Fools like this won't be flying too long. Should have never launched in that kind of weather.

Well done... i mean stupid af...🤗

Ahhhhh NO!!!!!

Everyone makes mistakes as long as you learn from them that’s what matters… thanks for sharing a lot of us are addicted to this sport and would take stupid risks to fly but after watching this video I have learnt a few reasons to avoid this situation thanks a gain..

It is Colombia not Columbia

대박 비올때 패러를 ㅠㅠ

Haven’t read any other comments so this has probably already been said, you should not use ears with a wet wing, you need as much energy in the wing as possible ie good airflow over the canopy, so you should be on full bar. To get out of the sky quickly you also need to be able to fo full on horizontal spirals, this will get you down quicker and keep max energy in the wing. Do an SIV if you haven’t done one. Glad you survived and are okay.

I would be shitting a brick flying hearing thunder like that you really wanted to get back to the LZ

Thunder is dangerous when you touch the ground. According the physical rules + energy (electric power) needs - energy (ground) for hit. You cas feel safe until you touch the ground

That is really awesome

Did you intantionally stay up there for too long?

It's Colombia not Columbia...

Well done!

This man is a living legend

That was probably the scariest flight I have ever seen! You have many horseshoes as ballast right? I nearly launched into that crap last summer, came up real fast, didn't see it behind the mountain, 3 minutes later boom!

Stupid is the only right description...... guys like this are stupid and nothing else.....

Jeeesus. Scary

Totally nuts! Hope you are not a tandem pilot...?!

That's a nightmare come true. Need some really strong heart to get out of such situation 👍. Love from India 🇮🇳

The only good thing about flying in this conditions is that you dont need to take a shower afterwards :) Well I was surprised about the big ears, at some wings they are super stable at some you need to hold the lines all the time.But I have never thought it would be such a trouble with the wet wing to re-open them. I would be affraid to use them withou the speed bar, at least half of it, when the wing is soaked, you gain extra energy, going down faster and makes the heavy wing more stable.

If the weather predictions of the day tell that there is a chance for thunderstorms and you see those dark clouds appearing, then you just shouldn’t start, or land immediately when you fly. When you climb in the rain you know that there is more happening in the air than just a shower. So that was also a sign to go down asap!! Flying in rain should be avoided at all time. It changes the propertys of you glider in flight, the stall speed goes up and the cloth gets sticky as you see. but it can also affect the line lengths long term. It’s bad for your glider. You can fly becouse you landed while going backwards, but you really underestimate the danger that the weather can be. You think you have control but in reality you’re just a leaf in the sky!!! The things you learn at your gliding school are no joke, they are vital to stay alive in this sport, so take them very serious! Please think about this, i wish you meny happy flights and i hope one dat you can be a good example for others.

The name is COLOMBIA WITH O NOT U 🇨🇴

More than lucky you were! And pulling brakes to hard!

Its COLOMBIA!🇨🇴

COLOMBIA....with an O.

Que bueno saliste ileso

Gruss aus Austria ..... CBM - MUNICH

Nice one man,makes me not worry so much about a few sprinkles when I fly :)

All wrong in this handling... Maybe you should stay on the ground ;-) The full stall was near, very next to you, allt he time !

Where is the Thunder ?? Its just a rain shower....

Now this is when you know it's time to seek help for your addiction problem! Ha! I am addicted myself but geez!! I'm glad you are ok! I did learn from this video that these wings can take more moisture, (torrential downpour?), than I thought!! Thanks for sharing!!

What is the protocol when you land in some stranger's field? Are Columbians generally OK with that and friendly?

Looks scary. I'm a rep at Wooglobe. We would love to license this video with a good offer for you. I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me on - sell ( .at. ) wooglobe ( .dot. )com - I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks

Thanks for sharing it.

Dude!! Whatever said and done, I have to tell you that you have a cool head. May be too cold a head for a situation like that. Thankfully, for you, you didnt get into any serious updraft. (Maybe because those over developed clouds stopped feeding as it wasn't as hot a day) A spiral is a good idea but you run the risk of getting disoriented. A few hard 360 turns would have helped you get down faster but that would get negated should there have been a nice draft up. In my personal experience , a big ear and a full bar is the apt thing to do. As far as the wet ear sticking and not opening up... you can land even with big ears. The important thing for you would have been to get out of lift asap. Not sure why you kept hanging around under those clouds. All is well that ends well. hope next time you are far more careful. Light a candle for the lord !

interesting to see the situation and resolution. thanks for posting.

240 DPI come on give us a break barbie doll camera crap.

Good Job on the landing and thanks for sharing.. Enjoyed the ride.

Thanks for posting. Scary situation. Glad you made it okay.

WOW, that was fugly, I was feeling the emotions the pilot would have. Rain is such an unknown because it can affect you in so many ways.

How stupid can a pilot be...

A giant umbrella :D

You should stop flying for good. It´s just a matter of time until you leave. You don´t judge the weather to decide wether to fly or not to fly nor did you use a weather report. This situation normally ends with a fatal accident. Lucky you! Time to go down??? You shouldn´t have started at all in these weather conditions. It´s a suicide attempt actually !!! How daft someone must be!!!
