Amazingly, both uprights are fine. Round ones are very strong!
Here's a better version of the same vid:

Hello Sergey !
Hi Sergey, great to see Kyle & Euan doing well and thanks for looking after them, they are both very keen and will be doing XC's in no time.
The hang height on the glider is fine Iv'e flown it with that harness and all is OK
It must be the camera angle that make it look like they area bit high.
Before I signed them off we spent a two days flying that wing and both flew it really well and if all was not well I would not of set them free !
I enjoyed your flight Sergey and notice the bottom of the harness (feet section) was clipped up on to the carabineer and you had to fly gorrilla or was that on purpose
I have some wheels for them and an Aeros Target so they will be picking them up some time this week. Give me a call the next time your flying the Moorfoots and I'll come up.
Please tell kyle & Euan well done from me, its very hard when you finally leave the school & your on your own making all the decisions for yourself.
Cheers.

Maximise your time & dosh do both Hanggliding & Paragliding
Cheers Ronnie, will pass your message too! I think you may be right about the wide angle camera making hangpoint look higher than it really was.
As for guerilla style flight - well, I didnt realize that the cord wasn't supposed to go through the carabiner until I was flying, and then I just had to make it look intentional ;o)
The Twins have been out at Moorfoots yesterday, soaring with Mike.
