Crash on Launch


https://youtu.be/kXRmJtm4Z7I



This is still hard for me to watch. This happened on the 5th of
Oct. It was a combination of a lack of proficiency, wind changed directions as I
took the first step forward (glider yaws), strong conditions, wing tip caught a
bush, and not far enough forward on the launch ramp (clean air to both wing
tips). I can only be thankful that I was not seriously injured. You can see the
few seconds after impact I didn't move, but I don't remember doing that. My neck
and back were very sore for about a week but I feel almost fully recovered after
2 weeks. I don't know if I will fly hang gliders again. I don't fly them enough
to stay current and fly at difficult launch sites with strong conditions. I have
not repaired the glider. If you have interest in buying it feel free to send me
a message.
