- First of all, I walked away after the crash with only a minor bruise(not even scratches).
Kössen, Austria 13.08.2022
Inattention and routine was my main mistake on this last flight. Both reserves got caught up and i didn't got them out. Impact was softend by the Harness-protector.
Hope you can learn from this video.
Happy to be alive, happy to be unhurt.
Fly safe ;-)

I expected a nasty scream when you hit the ground.
**hits ground**
"...whew."
(Not so) Fun Fact: I was standing at the landing site that day, waiting for first ever real schooling flight in Kössen to happen and that's when I saw you coming down like that. Running over to you as one of the first, I was expecting the worst but turns out you were more than lucky. Actually went up and did my very first proper flight that afternoon and it was amazing. Super glad you were fine.
Haha imagine seeing that before first flight. Glad pilot is ok!
I remember! I was there too! You were the guy in the veffgug Bhutto right?
omg I was there also, I was the one who served you guys Wodka right after the accident!
@@Repz98bro! They were delicious!
My first day of paraglider training and a hang glider pilot wrecked and had to be airlifted out. My first solo flight was 6am the next morning…
I can totally relate to your experience and am glad it did not deter you from chasing your own dreams! Safe flying folks! Glad to hear this pilot was ok! Whew!
Wow, wow, wow, wow. I'm glad you're ok.
I know someone who threw two reserves once...
@WoodysGamertag How’s the leg doing woody?
Hi woody.
RSK
Of course Woody was here
At least the music didn’t get interrupted and you got down safe 😂
Yeah the music not getting interrupted was the more important part for sure 😂
That wood post was too close for comfort.. I can only imagine the injuries if you were to of hit that. Glad you are safe!
How does one "of hit" something?

@@IRZ09xX interesting. I wonder why he didn't say what he meant?
@@DavidFerree54that weed is getting on top of ya.
That was hell man!! Glad that you made that woow at the end to confirm you’r ok.
Hab von dem Unfall in den Nachrichten gelesen. Dachte dass die Schirme zumindest ein bisschen den Fall abbremsen hätten müssen. Aber dass du so hart aufschlägst und ohne Verletzungen davongekommen bist grenzt an ein Wunder.
Schön dass es dir gut geht.
Fly save
Ich glaube mehr abbremsen ist bei einer Spiralenlandung wahrscheinlich nicht möglich. Just luck
Die Schirme haben stark gebremst ! Von außen dürfte das ausgesehen haben wie ein Ahorn Samen der in einer Spiralbewegung zu Boden trudelt .Freier Fall aus dieser Höhe hatten den Körper platzen lassen ,selbst eine Landung mit geöffneten Rettungsschirm kann mit 6 m/s härter ausfallen ! Ich verstehe vor allem nicht was die Akro Flugeinlagen vor der Landung sollen ? Das ist unnütze Poserei und dann gehts eben schief !
That was nail biting seeing the ground approaching fast. You must have very flexible bones. Glad to see you’re ok to fly another day.
was not so fast...

Wow, and you were inches from being impaled by that pole. Lucky man!
Wow! Zum Glück ist Dir nichts passiert. Sehr beeindruckendes Video. Hab mich schon immer gefragt ob mit genug Drehung viel der Aufprallenergie nicht „weggerutscht“ werden kann. Jetzt hab ich’s mal gesehen. Gurtzeug voraus (Sat) hilft da natürlich nochmal. Ist jetzt mehr akademisch, weil man sowas nicht geplant hinbekommt, aber dennoch.
Danke für das Video (und die ganzen herrlichen Testival Fail Videos, schau ich seit Jahren immer). Happy Birthday and stay safe.
Dude how are you okay!? Towards the end I was like how is he gonna pull this off, well fuck that’s the ground. Amazing your okay glad for it too. Keep on keeping on.
just missed the pole perfect - congrats on being lucky mate happy for you - thanks for uploading the footage real vulnerable but good lessons
OMG Glad you're OK man. Thanks so much for sharing!
You stayed very calm and tried to fix it till the last second...thank goodness you weren't hurt, most people would have panicked...but you stayed calm and kept working the problem...good job. I'm sure its something you won't do again (Twisting your lines),
man I am so glad you're OK... stay safe!
😳😳😳 I have just seen 3 seperate occasions of malfunctioning Reserves - you guys are killing my trust into my reserve...
Reserves are just perfect. He entered the autorotation and need to know how to throw the reserve in these situation.
@@Random-es7yo yeah i get your point as in "don't take risk so that you need a reserve" but when push comes to shove I'd expect that damn thing to do its one Job and at least try to open.... Those two feel pretty comfortable with not even properly opening....
@@raphaeleymann If you have to throw a reserve in an auto rotation you need to throw it straight down. This way it has the highest chance of opening before you catch it and the lowest chance of ending up in your glider (because you throw it close to your body). Of course this is just the theory no matter how you throw it, it will most likely end up caught. Biggest takeaway i have from this video is: When pulling in your reserve dont let go until you actually have it all the way out and opening.
In these kind of situation , the only good way to throw the reserve is toward the back end of the wing and posibly up. So , you need to look at the horizont , find the back end of the wing and bomb out the reserve with maximum power. Only these way you can create the environent for reserve to open and not finish in the lines or …
I think all 3 of them were acro pilots in really bad situations. Relax.
happy birthday stef! Bin froh, dass es so gut ausging! ✌🏻
Holy shit!! Glad you're ok, last time I saw something like that going down in Kössen u remember a lot more screaming and the pilot had more injuries, even though he was caught by the trees.
Also glad you didn't hit the plane at the fliegerbar.
Looks like Kössen is the place to survive mistakes ;)
Yeah he is way more lucky then calito
Glad you are okay. I will have to say though you Set a great example of keep trying until you hit the ground.
I love the "woo!" after you see how close to the post you were!
So Krass das dir nichts Schlimmeres Passiert ist!! Habe jetzt erst angefangen zu Fliegen, solche Videos sind Hilfreich! Danke fürs Teilen.
good job on not panicking and trying to fix the issues until the last moment. i hope you're still flying
Thanks very much for sharing! I wish you safe landings.
What a fustercluck that was! Glad to see you actually survived that.
Danke fürs Teilen! Schön das es dir gut geht! Nun hast du einen zweiten Geburtstag!
Alles Gute weiterhin!
DAMN, brother! Scary as hell. Way to keep fighting! Glad you're alright.
Dude you took that like a champ, no scream ,no f**k just tensed up for impact
lol even the dog at the very end looks worried. Man, glad your ok!
WOW!!! I saw that parking lot coming up and figured you were at least knocked out. Really glad you're OK. This kind of thing makes me wonder if a cutaway system for the wing could be incorporated.
They excist, like the Charly Quick Out Main Carabiners.
It’s so very Annoying that the base cut away system has only been made for Acro. Those harnesses are too heavy for many. I want to design a light one but haven’t found a developer who will do it. A Skydiving style rig.
@@Jay-ParaOz You could use a SQR Companion Prime. It has been tested up to free fall speed deployment.
actually i wondered if he will "throw away" wing first before using parachute (I dont know anything about the hobby). Seems that it could be helpful in such cases... Usually you want to use parachute when wing fails, and when wing fails there are high chances things can get entangled
you have been using a life time luck dimension :-) Unbeliavable, no injuries !! a good example , to stop the rotation is so important. in this case a full stall may have been a good decision or throw the rescue not so late, depends on ya high...
Glad you were able to walk away after that. Looks like you just missed that fence post.
Yeah, i missed nearly everything... :D
@@airddicted I thank the Lord for your angels! You get to fly another day.
Alter, Stef! Happy Birthday! Sehr froh, daß Dir nix passiert ist! Phew!
So ein Glück hat man glaub ich nur einmal im Leben...
@@airddicted das dachte ich mir auch, als mir das selbe in Öludeniz über Wasser passiert ist. Quintessenz war dann die Entscheidung: Kein Acro über Grund mehr :/
Someone was smiling down on you that day. Glad you're ok, and you certainly have a story to tell for the rest of your life 👍
Nope nobody smiling down, just straight up physics
Classic maple-leaf descent. Very enlightening experience. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you GOD!!! Hey I am SO THANKFUL that you used you landed soft(ish)!!!! I'm a skydiver and I never watch accident videos, but I figured u were okay from the video title, and when I saw that the parking lot was approaching quite a bit slower than freefall, I knew you had a plan and it was working.... Great job staying calm and thinking straight !!🙏
Fascinating how your rotation kept you slow...Id love to try this one day....well, not this exactly, but a simpler flight...Stay safe up there, great job thinking straight, Always pray before flights,🙏 God Bless ❤️🤙
normally rotation has a fast descent rate, I really wonder how this ended up that slow. Also the angular velocity could make you hit something very hard…
There must have been like zero wind? But even then, ur momentum coming down and the upwards wind force would spin you wildly…idk how he survived this tangled and didn’t shatter
Hello, glad you are ok ! Do you know what was your mistake here ? I see you enter in heli then twist then autorotation. Maybe you should have thrown the reserve earlier before the big autorotation, but it went fast...
Wow, missed that wooden stake. Congrats on surviving!
I’ve watched several paragliding videos and was thinking wow maybe I should check into this as it looks like fantastic fun. Well, this one is an eye opener. Glad you are okay. Yikes
Try Hang Gliding, we don`t know what our reserves look like.
Einfach nur brutal! Danke fürs teilen und Happy Birthday!
Danke 🥳
You and your tunes didn't skip a beat.. glad your good
Flying an advanced wing in extremely turbulent conditions... reserve deployed which immediately gets wrapped up in the main wing. Good to see you weren't injured
Damn man, glad your ok!
Ich habe das gleiche erlebt, ich habe auch meinen Fallschirm in die Kappe geworfen, und als ich auf das Vario geschaut habe, hatte ich einen Fall von 7m/sec, das hat mich beruhigt, weil ich wusste, dass es weh tun würde, aber danke, am Ende war es so hat nicht allzu weh getan. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deiner Erfahrung, ich weiß, dass du es nie wieder tun wirst :-)
For us non-jumpers it would be interesting if you added a technical explanation of why this happened? The kite looks fine to start with. Why did it start rotating madly and twist itself up?
Yes, please, we need an explanation
He was doing some acro but it was poorly implemented so he got the paraglider into an uncontrollable spiral. Usually it's done above water where the price of the mistake is much lower.
Both reserve parachutes were executed horribly - it is so important not to panic and plan that timing well
the pilot was so lucky. It was not spiral, but SAT. So, the sink rate not really high.
They don't "jump" they fly. Well, maybe not him...
Glad you're ok my friend - Good job continuing to *work* the problem - Never give up! Coming from the military MFF/HALO/HAHO side, with 300+ body armor, NVGs, weapon + ruck (full wall locker we call them) jumps - If the corners of your canopy are starting to curl in like that, you're encountering some unusual wind activity. Based on how cloudy the sky looks, and the mountainous terrain, I would say it's highly likely there was strong crosswind gusts taking place. If the corners of the canopy are curling, STOP inputting aggressive turns! Let your chute settle down, and reassess the winds you're dealing with...
If it progresses into that spin and the lines get twisted, is it possible to cut the chute away quickly so that the reserves don't risk getting entangled in the main?
I was thinking that, it seemed like the reserves just got tangled in with the first and cutting away the entire thing should be an option@@williamstrachan
@@TexasRedOutlaw Not a paraglider, but unless you have tens of thousands of feet of altitude to play with, I don't think you'll have time to cut that many lines. And even after you did, now you're in actual freefall.
That song will bring him terror for the rest of his life
Wow you kept your head together all the way down👍glad your safe !
happy Birthday Buddy!😱🎉
As a skydiver I’m shocked there’s no way to detach your main canopy. I watched the reserve get tangled with the main and was screaming “cut it! ditch the main!” and then I realized you couldn’t…
As much as I’d love to take up para motor specifically I think I’ll stick with chucking myself out of airplanes for now.
There are paraglider harnesses with cutaway systems and base canopies, which are typically used in the discipline this gentleman was practicing - acro.
@@rouey Thanks for the info man. Insane how people ignore safety procedures when doing sports like ours.
@@andrujames3705As far as I'm aware, the Base Acro Paragliding harnesses that rouey is referring to aren't an option for most pilots because they are extremely expensive, but also very heavy, making them unsuitable for any kind of hike-and-fly.
You can get quick-release carabiners for attaching the wing to the harness, but I don't like the idea of trying to operate these with the stress of the earth rushing up at me.
I prefer to try to avoid these situations entirely by taking SIV, and not flying acro :)
@@johnchristopher5201 What a flawed argumentation. Choose your equipment based on the activity you are doing. Doing acro, get a base acro harnass. Doing hike-and-fly, get a light-weight harnass. Most likely you will use different wings anyhow.
@@johnchristopher5201 If it's expensive and the money is the problem, don't do it.
Be careful man glad you are ok
Phhhuuuuuuuu🙈🙈...Happy Birthday my Friend☝️☝️
HOLY SHIT. dude. Glad you are okay. We gotta figure out why the diaper bags aren't coming off and why the reserves aren't opening like they should.
Yiiiikes! I can't believe the 2x reserve fail. Glad you're ok
😱😰Oh my goodness. I'm all shivering here just to see the ground getting closer, I'm glad you're okay.🥲🙂
Unhurt? Wow. I hurt myself getting up to take a piss last night. Youre lucky dude!
Godamn you played God like a fiddle 🎻 glad your alive thanks for the video
How are you even alive? That seemed deadly. I really want to watch footage of this video from 3rd person's perspective to understand the speed of descent. Because from POV, it looked really fast. But I'm glad that you survived.
The spiral isn't a free fall, so speed of decent is a lot lower. But still could be deadly, yes
People are like "Ultralights are unsafe!" and "Gliders are unsafe!" and theres just people out there soaring around tied to bed sheets
WOW, your guardian angle was putting in work!
It is a miracle that you hit one of the only patches of dirt in the parking lot 🙌🏼
Wow!!! good end. happy for you .
Very impressive and terrific
That was gnarly bro!!!😱
Oha! Hast Du eigentlich die Sinkrate aus Deinen Variodaten? Wenn ich versuche, die Höhe abzuschätzen und das Video Frame by Frame durchgehe, komme ich kurz vor dem Boden auf eine Sinkrate von ca. 5 m/s. Das würde den guten Ausgang erklären.
Vario hab ich keins, aber ja, die Sinkrate dürfte sich vermutlich in diesem Bereich bewegen
cold as ice glad you are good mate
Vlad the Impaler must have been so disapPointed with this video. You know, not landing on that wooden pole. You really got lucky. Stay safe out there.
I did some parachuting classes like 15-20 years ago and I remember learning that when you want to use the reserve chute, you need to release the main chute first. I saw you did not, but you are advanced so I guess you knew what you were doing. Did that rule change? (Not challenging here, simply wondering if the process changed for some reason).
That's not "parachuting" which is skydiving. That's paragliding. There are no cutaways in paragliding. For the wing or the reserves.
@@TheOffCyclehe didn't pay enough attention in his class to notice that 😂
Holy shit my heart is racing! How in the hell did he not break anything?! Hod was looking out brother 🙏🏻
A real man indeed didnt say word even after smacking the ground well done sir thank you for being a real man! and not screaming like a baby
Missing that post and landing in the sand not on the asphalt absolutely saved your life.
I wonder what music I would hear in my last moments? Seriously though, glad you made it ok. Scary stuff.

whoooa that was close call man!! glad it went this good!
Holy...
Glad you're ok.
On my first paragliding vacation in France back in 2006, I and others practiced deep spirals - that is, until some unknown paraglider apparrently fainted in a deep spiral and crashed into the ground. He died instantly - so be careful out there!
So einen Tag später nochmal einen Blick geworfen was mich noch interessieren würde:
- "Wohin" hast du die Retter versucht zu werfen?
- Wohin hättest du die Retter geworfen jetzt wo du das ganze Verarbeitet hast?
- Wie geht es dir vom Mentalen her?
- Was sind deine Learnings/Konsequenzen die du aus dem Vorfall ziehst?
- Wie erklärst du es dir dass gerade diverse solcher Retter-Fails viral gehen?
Tendenziell habe ich beide Retter leicht nach unten geworfen, etwas mehr nach unten hätte vermutlich nicht geschadet.
Am meisten ärgert mich, dass ich den anfänglichen Twist nicht gestoppt habe, was zu dem Zeitpunkt noch vermutlich problemlos geklappt hätte. Da hat sich nach über 6 Jahren "Heli-Erfahrung" ohne Probleme einfach zu viel Routine eingeschlichen.
Eigentlich sind es die "einfachen" Basics die ich wohl wieder sorgfältiger bedenken werde. Kein Flug ist wie der andere, reagiere sofort auf alles was nicht planmäßig läuft. Beim Box-setzen noch sorgfältiger auf den Windversatz achten, der Ostwind an diesem Tag war deutlich stärker als sonst.
Dass "aktuell" so viele Retter-Fails kommen hat denke ich sehr viele Gründe, Grundsätzlich mehr Verbreitung von Kameras, mehr Acro-Piloten allgemein, Hochsaison mit sehr hohem Flugaufkommen. Außerdem denke ich auch dass das Risikobewusstsein beim Gleitschirmfliegen (nicht nur Acro) immer niedriger wird, u.a. auch durch immer besseres Material. (Als Beispiel: Früher waren es eine handvoll Top-Piloten die Tumbling beherrscht haben, heute ist es beinahe schon ein Standard Manöver welches bereits nach 1-2 Jahren Flugpraxis geflogen wird)
@@airddicted die Bremsleine (links in dem Fall) oberhalb vom Twist erreicht man nicht mehr in so einer Situation? Zu viel g durch den SAT, oder zu weit weg?
@@jstolba erreichbar wäre sie, wenn man jetzt aber links bremst ist die Frage was passiert, für solche Experimente bräuchte man mehr Höhe. So war es ein stabiler SAT mit wenig sinken der mir in dieser Situation die größte Hoffnung gemacht hat, weshalb ich diesen Zustand auch nicht "auf gut Glück" riskieren wollte
@@airddicted Right. I’m surprised that you, an experienced pilot, did not stop the initial twist. Maybe a spring loaded, Ballistic like, reserve systems for auto rotations. Cheers.
So what options do you have in twisted autorotation when throwing a reserve? Throw it as vertically up or down as possible? Can you fall into your reserve too when you throw it down?
First you try to stop the rotation, and then you throw the reserve :)
pull Cs or brake lines above twist and throw upward? (I've read something like that yesterday)
Probably a good idea to practice ground spirals when there are no cars around and you don't have your reserves out.
Can't you release the main tangled chute like parachutists do so the reserve has clean air to open in?
That's certainly a new way to affect a spiral dive. Must have been real hungry.
Any injuries from this? Crazy with the reserves not opening. What mistake was made?
how can you be unhurt after such an impact, crazy!! glad you are ok! seems that the protector was doing its job very well? what harness did you use, what kind of protector? peace!!
I think his whole Body will hurt
I really don't know how its possible to have that much luck. Harness is a U-Turn Blackjack, about 2 month old.
At least it was not far from the cableway station :) Lucky you.
that stick was close...
I'm curious which way did you threw the rescues ?
thanks for share, very helpful to learn, you were too lucky, good for you
Hey, Any idea what your descent rate is in that situuation? I'm a pro skydiver and if this was under our wings you'd be dead for sure! Curious to get any metrics if you have them
Some of the downward component was transferred in rotational enery. Plus the (little) resistance from the sails. One lucky guy! Or it wasn't his time yet...
Dont take my word for it but im guessing around 10 m/s, maybe more as this is a normal decent rate for a moderate spiral with a paraglider
@@Amondsen3 Appreciated, Looking at the descent speed again, I would say you're about on the money!
I had very similar accident and my descent rate was about -17m/s
@ That seems like broken bone territory? Or got to be close right?
I’m so glad you didn’t hit that pole man!
omg what a bad sight. How hard was the impact?
You have the cat's nine lives, man! Chances of survival were negligible in such a scenario!
You were just lucky man. 😬 be careful
Does a rotation like that helped reduce fall impact?
Smart idea to start recording. Cameraman never dies
"Happy birthday" Stef!

Definitiv
I can’t tell if the red connecting to the Cord is the cut away
Why isnt there a thing to cut a couple lines away and then throw the reserve? (no paraglider here)
Just to be able to learn I ask:
Did you throw the reserve 2 times in front of the paraglider rotation to the right?
Wouldn't it been better in your case to throw it with the left hand to the left to give the reserve time to open before it gets eaten up by glider?
What do you think?
that little "Woooh" after crashing... Happy ending ^^
That's a lot of tangled nylon! Glad you walked away.
Congratiulation for the second birthday
thanks for sharing, it is important to learn from those mistakes. I understand even more how important to do manouvers only above water.
It's not necessarily better since it's easy to pass out in a high-g spiral or on hitting the surface. While it might cushion it a little bit there is a high chance of drowning.
@@TheGrundigg Should then a boat be ready to rescue I guess!
@@andrea_signoretto hire a boat every day for a couple of hours and tell me how much it is :)
It is still possible to drown even by being rescued in 15 seconds unconcious people and water don't mix well with the addition of all the lines and canopy. Sure if you have a pro crew who are constantly looking at you and ready to basically catch you in the boat (like on most SIV) then yeah but if you're doing acro practice you won't have that.
@@TheGrundigg I'm sorry it is a hard topic for me since a flying buddy died few years ago for crashing on the ground while doing acro... I wish all pilots best flights and better landings!
That was wild! Any injury from that?
Only a minor bruise, not even a scratch 🙈
His “woo” upon landing had me dying 😂
