YOU DID SEE THE STORM ! - - -WHY DECISSION TO FLY HIGH ?????????????? . . . . .stupidooooooo ! . . . . .or CLICKBAITI ? ? ?

Not very intelligent, to launch at these conditions with a passenger. The thunderstorm is there from the beginning, and not a surprise in the air.... 🤨

When you were hangliding did you listen to this music attached to this video too.

Niiiice!

Reminds me of a flight I made at Lookout mountain in 1980 the weather was perfect when I took off I glided down abit then caught a weak thermal and climbed back up past take off then all of a sudden the lift started to get very strong and my old ball vario hit the stop 1000 up I looked up to see what was causing the lift and the whole sky was grey black it was a gust front that came sweeping over the whole area and sucked everything up I headed straight out into the valley with the bar pulled in all the way I topped out over 4000 feet went about 20 km and made hundreds of 360's trying to get down on the way I even contemplated standing up in the control bar unhooking my caribener and jumping and deploying my chute if it sucked me into the clouds but i figured Id still probably get sucked right back up anyway I eventually started going down and made a good landing going backwards into a strong wind..

Good save bro, you are pretty cool under pressure. I want to learn how to hang glide it looks awesome and very peaceful which would be the greatest attraction to me besides the act of flying which I love. Glad you two are ok and made it back safely.

Ótima decisão, segurança total....parabéns por postar 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Seems like if it was a local thunderstorm, if you put your weight forward and went into a straight line, you eventually would have removed yourselves from its pull: kinda like swimming across a rip tide. Does this video say much good for your judgement, especially since you had a student?

Bet you were freezing your butt off

This happened to me many years ago. I was flying a WW HP2. Took off from the launch above Falkland BC Canada by myself. Had a great flight, flew most of the way back to Vernon BC, crossed the valley and flew back past Falkland to Westwold, buzzed the guy in the forest fire look out on the south side of the valley, crossed the valley and made my way back to launch. I was ~6000ft asl when i got to launch and hit this big thermal. I thought I'll ride it to the top and then go and land. It would be the end of a perfect day. My vario was pegged at 1100 FPM (Ball 500). I did perhaps 3 360's glanced at the altimeter and saw I was at 9600 feet. The light went on in the back of my head,, something ain't right here. Rolled it up onto one wing and saw I was beneath a developing Q nim. I pointed he nose at the ground, VG off, and the vario is telling me I'm doing 200 FPM up. Despite doing maybe 40 or 50 MPH at a 30-40 degree downward angle,, I was going up backwards. It took me 30 to 40 minutes to get out from under that Q nim. I managed to keep my cool until I landed. I then started shaking uncontrollably. The next day I was there was several of the local pilots. I told them what had happened and they did not seem concerned and were not concerned about the towering Q's developing across the valley. Well I though these guys know the site,, let's fly. We ended up having to fly back to Salmon Arm to avoid the Q nim's.

Where can I buy a set of those floats?

Not gonna lie that looks fun

This happened to me and my buddy at High Rock Maryland. Being at cloud base and trying to find sinking air but can’t is something that will never be forgotten. No thunderstorms but big cumulus clouds and 50 mph horizontal winds at cloud base (15 mph at launch and eventually 40 mph gusts after takeoff). A real butt puckering day.

eagle hanggliding... I would confiscate your flying liscence after landing forever :-))

You really typed out how it took you over an hour to escape the “lethaly hazardess” air. Bro are you in like third grade? How do people just phonetically spell in their adulthood…

Why i left Christianity ruclips.net/video/I_btCVYm1IA/видео.htmlsi=QGcon4vNi3omCTUV And ruclips.net/video/SdyyNimjYCs/видео.htmlsi=vFbcuRhXeHww9yEf

Another idiot touched the sky.

Moralité : meme si la stagiaire est mignonne, mieux vaut rester en vie pour espérer qq chose avec elle.

you need to have a mini parachute and choose the weather carefully

Bad judgement and immaturity nearly cost lives. Brave of you to post this obviously bad decision to go flying and especially to take a passenger.

YOu took off with the thunderstorm almost on top of you. If you actually have a pilot's license, then you didn't listen very well in ground school, or you would have known how dangerous that was.

Good job bro! Paraglider pilot here from Danmark. And expecially kudos to that beautiful girl, always smiling and positive throughout it, great attitude! Dybsand….is there a danish heritage in your family? Sounds pretty danish to me😊 Anyway, compliments on your handling of the situation! Stay safe and have good times!

Armchair critics...give the pilot a break. Nothing's ever 100% safe there's always an element of risk. If you want zero risk then stay in bed. Conditions didn't look so bad, the decision to fly was defensible, they flew, they got unlucky. The pilot took appropriate action and they were fine. Amazing passenger...helping pulling back on the bar..staying calm. That was an exhilerating ride that they'll likely look back on for the rest of their lives. Gorgeous video. Thanks for posting. And yes, I've a PPL and in my youth owned and flew a Typhoon S4 racer so I've lived these fly/no fly decisions.

Given you both were nearly killed, perhaps the jaunty music in the last third is misplaced ? 😮

Well done for sharing. You may have helped someone else learn from this.

what calm that woman had!

This is why these things need a rearwards facing 600shp PT6 turboprop to get away from these storms. On another note you are very lucky your passenger kept her cool and didn't panic. A fun story she has to tell people now!

A hang glider and a thunderstorm nearby that doesn't mix well. Nice lightning strike at 5:46

Seems like very poor judgement to fly that day.

I down with that. A good jumpsuit and O2 lets go!

You trying to gain control of the potential death risk. The girl: Wow this is a lot of fun!!! 😂😂😂

a light aircraft at max rate dive will not desend in the wrong thunder storm... and can withstand far more abuse than a hang glider..... -2C per 1000ft you will soon be Ice cubes lucky af

I wish we could hear the vario and you talking, instead of that stupid music!

I got cloud sucked at Ellenville. I was bouncing on the hang strap from turbulence and thought the glider would break. I remember the pain of holding the bar in. Your ordeal was much smoother than mine. Never fly when storms are forming in the area.

This wasn't a mistake; it was sheer reckless negligence. You knew better, and still chose to put a passenger's life in danger.

If you can’t spell hazardous you should avoid hazards.

When you said struggling with what you knew you had to do next, why did I think that meant you were going to unclip her and let her fall 😂 idk shit about hangliders lol

By watching this video I learnt to never fly with Eagle Hang Gliding. What a dumb choice. When the sky is so unstable to create thunderstorms you never launch in the first place. Simply study thunderstorms and the vertical velocitiesi nvolved to understand why. To the tandem pilot you were very stupid and very lucky.

Some famous pilot said getting stuck in a cumulus cloud isn’t as bad as you think it is worse.

I wonder if anyone has gone into a spin on a topless to avoid cloud suck. I’ve done some spins that felt like I was falling out of the sky, which makes sense seeing as only one wing is flying and the other is stalled.

Nothing worse than being in the air and wishing you were on the ground.

I doubt this guy had learned a lesson, people like this rarely do. They think they know better. Just ask that idiot submarine dude

The audacity you have to put the text up “with my students safety in mind.” Despite your mission impossible music you are not a hero, you’re not a stud, you’re just reckless.

The important thing is you have 2 giant pontoons to absorb the impact when you fall to the rock hard surface of the earth.

What was the highest altitude before you could descend?

Fascinating story… could have used a strong dose of common sense and spell check

I almost died in Brazil doing this never do it again it’s way too dangerous even if you know what you’re doing and have the best instructors don’t do it. That’s my advice.

Thanks for sharing but you did actually write “a decision was taken” to go up as opposed to “I decided”. If you are the instructor then YOU made the decision and took a decision impacting somebody else who was under your guidance. Glad you both got down safely. Own your decisions.

Was that near Lacrosse Wi? ... Then at the end you say. I recognized the upper Mississippi bluffs of my youth! Thanks for sharing!

The student pilot looks like she's half the size of the pilot. I wonder if she'd have been able to land if flying solo, even if she knew what to do.
