word of warning watch and learn but dont if you are squeemis

Post by gary stenhouse »

come accross this on pg forum dont watch the clip if you are squeemish as i would say he must of died.

for those who choose to takes there hands of the brakes on take off to do what seems more important things, then watch the video and i am sure you will wait a bit before you do the next time.

this is real and i must say opens up memories i would rather not, but i think this video a sick as it seems learns you some valuable lessons

watch and learn

looks like the highest launch on babadag. watched an experienced turkish pilot get a compound fracture on the 1700m launch just a couple of weeks ago. It is not the type of terrian you want to bounce off.

Altought the guy takes his hands briefly off the brakes he has hold of both when he gets the collapse. I am affraid it is again an example of an inactive pilot doing nothing to stop the collapse happening and nothing to recover from it. Me personally I hate videos like this and would prefer not to have them shoved in my face, if your in to this stuff go surf U-tube and find in for yourself there but don't force it on the rest of us. Also if any member of the public was flick-in through this site thinking about taking up the sport then videos like this in the public section do nothing but have a negative effect on the sport. Can you not find some nice interesting ones please...
