- A man nearly plunged 2,500ft after the wing on his paramotor malfunctioned - but managed to untangle his parachute with moments to spare.
Yanis Teriz, 35, was paramotoring - powered paragliding - in Itatiba, Brazil, when a tear in his wing caused him to spin out of control.
Dramatic footage shows the malfunction sends him crashing towards earth.
He then throws out his emergency chute and it gets tangled in his paragliding lines.
Thankfully, he stays calm enough to untangle the wires - despite falling at hundreds of miles an hour - and manages to successfully redeploy the parachute.
Yanis, who has been paramotoring for ten years, said: "I have done many flights and that is the closest I have come to certain death.
"In the past I have had small incidents like emergency landings but nothing like this.
"I was falling through the sky at a rapid pace, and if I did not manage to untangle the parachute I would not be speaking to you right now.
"I have learnt a valuable lesson from the experience but it didn't stop me from going out straight after for my next flight!"
The video was filmed in July 2020.

I love how he waited and was having a good think about when/where to throw the reserve!! Very cool under pressure and at least he had the height to wait for the right moment!
Exactly my thoughts.
Hahaha thanks bro! 🤘🏻
Very glad he is safe and sound!! Reserve is a must in that sport.
Well if you're doing acro maneuvers you should actually have two reserves with you
I cant imagine flying without reserve.
now I am on 2.. when Murphy gets confused, 2 reserves may not suffice 🪂🪂🤣
i'm glad the camera is ok.
Glad your ok! Wow! Gatta love reserves!
This video is so scary it crashed my RUclips app while watching it!!
Excelente que te salvaste, Buen aprendizaje; solo el casco y cámara cayeron, lo bueno que también lo recuperaste. ¿el ala era vieja ? o ¿las fuerzas centrifugas fueron muy fuertes?. Digan que causó la ruptura.
tucker and all those other guys are pushing there luck when they pull heavy g forces. I would be completely happy just to be up there tooling around
Yep all those unnecessary "tip touches" and high G, low altitude moves will catch you eventually.
Haha yeah sure, I would bet money that’s glider has seen some serious hours. Well kept and annually inspected gear is the does not do that. As far as low acro that’s some real risky biscuits! This pilot was clearly flying in his box and has proper altitude.
If everyone was like you Peter, we would still have wooden kites :) people who push the envelope also help develop better and safer gliders. Even if they are aren’t doing it on purpose their actions help us all.
@@Catpanl sounds like you are prepare to sacrifice a few people in the name of “development”? I get what you are saying, but on the flip side, there would be a few pilots still alive if they didn’t “push their own personal envelope”
@@esuohdica nope, but many people passionate about the sport risk their lives every day to develop safer technology that keeps people in the air. you don't become the best Paramotor pilot in the world or design the safest glider in the world by playing it 100% safe.
Nice save, but why take off the helmet?
probably there was a line that caught on the helmet somewhere is what I'm guessing
Sometimes the reserve bridal lines will push up on the back of your helmet. In this case, must have pushed hard enough to knock his helmet off!
@@jodelboy yup his camera mount got snagged on the line. Fast thinking on his part. Just get rid of the helmet or deal with much worse outcomes.
Goodbye Velcro cam!! Good save!
perfect example on why not to wear a camera on your helmet, it can end up much worse, quite impress he's managed to find it and get the movie :)
wait..no wings, no safety wing, how could he survive?
He drop his helmet, what you see on the end is an rescue parachute
He was not falling hundred of miles an hour. You’re welcome.
Deus abençoe tenha misericórdia 🙏🙌🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
hi what brand of wing is it .. please? rip stop.
ozone freeride
Very used ozone freeride with lots of UV and pavement
I hear is was only 11 months old Ozone Freeride. If you read Ozone manuals they are kinda sketchy on the testing of G loadings. Not sure how much I trust them. Another Freeride had a line snapped at Bad Apples last month. But that one was old. Still makes you wonder.
And I wonder because I have two Ozone wings.
@@Catpanl sat make a lot of G forces
@@jackcarver8234 yea they do. So what I am saying is that maybe Ozone isn’t the brand to try for this. Dudek or Gin?
I love how he was falling hundreds of miles per hour.
Terminal velocity is only about 115 for a human body, but he still has half a functioning glider. I'm guessing he was falling at 30-75 mph...
That's just one piece of the BS writing about the incident.
It’s called hyperbole. You use it when you want to make a point.
@@bee3po122 I'll bet you're in advertising.
Probably the same people who wrote that Felix broke the light speed barrier when he did his stratospheric jump lol.
Was it a wing failure or a pilot flying an overloaded wing outside it's envelope failure?
Overloaded wing I suspect. Rare for stuff like that to happen
Nice job getting the reserve out. Commentary is wrong about going several hundred mph.
not sure why you playing with the reserve ?!!
His wing is teared?
he was doing acrobatic maneuvers at moderate to high Gs, which put enough stress on the wing to tear it in half like that. not a common malfunction, but a known risk on older wings with a lot of flying time on them.
@@tycacek7824 after how long we can replace the wing?
@@mohammadraza2167 its a personal choice, but I believe wings are recommended to be inspected by the manufacturer after every 100 hours of flying.
@@tycacek7824 every 2 years and this should never happen.
он шлем с камерой скинул ?
Камера запуталась в линиях. Он снял чтобы освободится.
Kinda shit day but why would you just ditch your helmet and gopro? 1st of all we sky people get yelled at for that because of the could fall on something or someone. 2nd. Video or it didn't happen and the shits expensive. The USPA bargain bin insurance that's attached to our ratings doesn't cover it.
his reserve was snagged on it, so it was either die or lose the helmet.
@@tycacek7824 I was looking for that but it didn't look snagged at all. Looked like he took it off then just rolled off
@@alexanderpetrow8668 I'm looking again and maybe you're right, just look like he took a second to get a good grip on the reserve before tossing it and waited a second to time it right. I'm not an expert paramotor pilot by any measure whatsoever, but the other consideration I've heard mentioned was that the reserve deploying can involve the reserve lines snagging your helmet for a split second and knocking/tearing it off on deployment. i honestly think most paramotoring helmets feel under engineered to prevent this. a $1500 helmet did not fit me a quarter as nicely nor was it as sturdy or comfortable as say, my $250 motorcycle helmet
blows me away you're asking a moron question like that. dude was literally falling to his death, his reserve got tangled and youre pissed cause he threw his helmet?? the level of stupidity in ppl these days is unreal
you should do a siv from time to time to know how to use your reserve bro...... thats deadly what you are doing....
have you ever thrown a reserve in your life bro?
@@yanisterzis8528 Yes---- regulary every 6 months in my trainings.... from several different conditions.... you can learn this also in the G-force trainer to avoid this mistakes you make... it´s really a good stuff
malfunctions :D
Жесть!
