I can't believe he never let go of the selfie stick. Was probably thinking nothing will happen. No emotions on his face either.
They don't have rescue parachute I think . With rescue parachute they would have survived, maybe without injuries at all.
Great video 😉
Your dumb for repeating yourself twice in your description
Solution. Please check your equipment. The carabiner is broken, don't use aluminium carabiner for tandem equipment
Maybe they were overweight for that wing and also without a parachute.
Oynarsan böyle olur AMK gazetesi
i am a skydiver, this one is for the paragliding pilots out there, Its seems the pilot is more concerned with where he was falling is, instead of preforming emergency procedures and deploying a reserve chute. correct me if i am wrong, dont know much about paragliding.
WHY THE FUCK DO I NOT SEE A RESERVE PARACHUTE???!!!! OR A RESERVE SECONDARY ACCESSSORY OR SOMETHING…..hats off to the instructor for the save and M.H.S.R.I.P …but …..DDUUUDEEE, no alternative maneuvre???
It is standard practice to cary a hand deployed reserve parachute and wear a helmet for all flights. When flying tandem, the reserve parachute is sized appropriately.
How come the pilot was not wearing a helmet? Obviously safety wasn't up on the list of priorities for the pilot and the operator. Sad result.
Holy fuck
Your sacrifice will grant you an eternity in paradise. RIP.
Miracle
How the fuck did he save the passenger? Get outta here with that garbage click bait title!
MADE IN CHINA
How the fuck is this saves? All I saw was a panicking guy dont know what to do and just grabbing anything he can until it lands. Did anyone notice how huge the balls of the guy in the front? Calm as a cup of water!
forgot his happy thought. just needs one happy thought then you can fly.
People always talk of the horrible risk of doing something like this after an accidental death. Yet they'll get married when the chances of failure are approximately 70%. Oh and don't say divorce won't kill you, because there's alot of dead ex spouses out there that would tell you different except that they're dead and can't talk.
And that's why I don't do these kind of activities in third world countries.
Extreme sports have extreme consequences when they go wrong! Everyone who participates in them is aware so you know!
I would never have a passenger with me when paragliding. Let them go get their own paraglider.
Did this on purpose just to get the views and fame for a day but failed
So sad!
That fat fuck selfie boy would probably die from diabetes. Feel bad for the pilot though.
Don't paragliders carry parachutes? They didn't appear to have much altitude but it's still better than nothing.
WOOOOOO WEEEEE YEEEAHH PLUMP
Bc Kya hua kuch pta he nai Chala..
It's not the fall that kills….it's the landing. Gravity wins again.
Finally something from the NYP that was not propaganda
NO RESERVE
SPLAT!!
Great job at getting the shot
Raise a paragliding statue in his honor
You can see at 0:16 that his starboard carabiner failed. It's hard to tell from the video if it was properly closed or not to begin with, but he was stressing it with a hard turn to the right. He also made some sort of adjustment to that side's riser just before. Sad incident.
Good thing he didn't drop his selfie stick.
If you notice, the Pilot was not wearing a HELMET !! ? Safety First People !!
This is the second similar incident in this week that Have to do with paraglide malfunction !! SMF People, please don’t do it !!
That’s why I don’t F*ck with these things !! ??♂️
What ‘vehicle’ are you talking about? It’s a parachute right? What was he ‘piloting’? No parachute, no nothing. Also, what’s so graphic about this video? We didn’t hear a SPLAT or see blood, teeth, or body parts snap, crackle, or pop off
fly is for toilet witches
Leave Paragliding to the pros, do not mess with what you don't know…
wait, why the fuck was he still holding the selfie stick?
Hmmm only if he were wearing a helmet
That’s very sad stuff ?? prays go out to the fam
Even if he hit the water, at that height it would have still been deadly.. that's crazy
I’ve only seen paragliding over water. Was this over a city?
me one
