    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’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.

      @@xistsixt I think you misread that. He’s not saying it’s too strong to launch, I think he’s saying people are rushing pilots off the launch. It’s a pretty common thing on launch to bring up your wing and pause to feel the wind.

      Do they teach you to throw your parachute in an SUV clinic? We had a paraglider pilot last year who had just done an SUV clinic in California last summer experience a collapse and never threw his chute. He landed on a road and broke his back at Lookout Mountain Flight Park in Georgia, USA where I work as a hang gliding instructor

    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 :-)

    • @raphaeleymann
      @raphaeleymann Год назад +2

      Please ask your instructor, in the butterfly technique you break the wing close to the stall point quickli open and rebreak. In german its called pumpen - its easy if you're used to it but its best learned with an Instructor!

    • @MattnUska
      @MattnUska Год назад +2

      Greg has a video about it on the Fly with Greg website but like Raphael said, it’s best to have an instructor help you with this. It can go wrong fast if you don’t know your stall point.

    • @dirkdiggler3009
      @dirkdiggler3009 Год назад +4

      It would be a lot better to spend time on learning a correct approach and how to put your glider down on a tight spot. I have seen a few people hurt themselves with the butterfly technique and wouldnt recommend it. Godd pilots too. The beach guy had a lot of space to land and a lot of room to manouver his glider away from the rock long before he got there. Once you are landing consistently with a good flare. Change it up. Every time you land at your local site pick a spot from high up and land as close as possible. Approach from multiple angles, never repeat the same approach. Add low turns, swoops, crosswind approach, downwind approach and upwind approaches to get feel for the adjustments you need to make. Make it different every time. If you have a large feild make it smaller by drawing imaginary boundaries you cant cross. This will help you practice steeper approaches and tighter landing zones without putting yourself in harms way.

    @evanbarnes9984 Год назад +2

    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.

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