Hi. What tipe of wing are you flying. Thank you. Also magnificent

schöner Ritt auf dem Bullen.

It is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than being in the air while wishing you were on the ground. This is my version - czcams.com/video/xUi-Jl5Tf8E/video.html

I'm only here because I thought a killer whale was hang gliding in the thumbnail. 😂

I think if you were in a dive position you'd lose altitude more faster, but no one can design properly in difficult times.

tolles Video, Danke Ralf für's posten. Ist Col Rodella ein schwieriges Fluggebiet also nur für sehr gute Piloten, oder auch für den Durchschnitts-Piloten mit 20 Flügen im Jahr fliegbar?

Hell!? Naaa bro this is living! Lol

Very hard to hear your voice over the wind noise

Too much wind imo

Thank goodness you were able to land safely!! ❤

its almost like your already in a body bag ready to go to the morgue

Werner Herzog?

Is wernor herzog your father or do you purposely speak exactly the same?

Your voice sounds like if Werner Herzog would narrate the whole experience with a stoic mindset. :)

Dumb decisions have consequences. No sympathy, dumba$$

Nice to have Werner Herzog narrating this for us

jö 🌬 a little bit of wind

Another great Werner Herzog documentary!

you should definitely turn the wind volume down until the live audio becomes important

Just a few days ago a friend of mine was killed while hang gliding. He was only 21. The devastation of his partner and family is heart-rending. We all need adventure in our lives, but for goodness sakes, be defensive and minimise the risks. Pushing the boundaries like this can end badly...

If its windy can you add extra weight to your body ??

I'm assuming that the reason you didn't turn around and go with the wind is because you would have no lift, and would be unable to glide to the ground, but fall?

Looks thrilling!!

So let me get this straight. all your weight multiplied by the force of the wind, turns and elevation, all rests upon two little lines and one V connector the size of a thimble. More over, only one connection at that, not even a secondary safety line for redundancy. why does this seem incredibly stupid to me.

Stick to knitting

It's hard to feel bad for someone who straps themselves to a kite. They could've easily just not went gliding and avoided any sort of peril.

Wow this is some two week old refrigerator pie 🥧🥧

When you think about it, that bag is a very thoughtful piece of equipment. It helps make sure the recovery crew have an easy cleanup when you're done.

a hawk could try and not hang in the air like you did, id be concerned and angry at myself if i was in this situation, i love the ground lol

Click bait. He events admits the title is misleading. Deceptive

More like 17 minutes of boring commintator.....

Good video! Although i would lower the audio of the video significantly, nobody is waiting for wind noises😅

I’d say you are a highly skilled hang glider pilot. Nice job.

I didn’t know Werner Herzog narrated hang-gliding videos 😉

What a stupid hobby

Wind gradient It is the rate of increase of wind strength with unit increase in height above ground level.

Could you post a 360 degree video, similar to what I have posted here: czcams.com/video/sw74s2mstyg/video.html

Wind is our enemy while we endure its allegiance.

Self inflicted

The feet does stuff to my face

My father used to do this back in the 80s. I think he had a Hiway Demon. I was a kid back then but I have seen some crazy shit. Then in the early 90s all the paragliders started to appear an skies git congested...haha

You said you should have checked out the weather yourself, rather than taking your friend's word for it. How would you have known the wind gradient, what would have indicated the high gradient to you ?

What a boring video.....

Thanks for the ride.

Cool. You got bunch of cameras, appreciate your hypnotizing pretentious tone, pretty cool man. Love and respect

Your voice is so relaxed. But the tension in the video is high. Very comical relating your expert skills and confidence, but then recognizing that nature and wind are unpredictable. Great video with cool explanations, thanks

he actually sounds like Giovanni Giorgio

So wind is over 16-17 m/s? Really? Amazing to gather that altitude without engines. Almost magical.

is there a reason he doesn't turn around and go with the wind?

Very interesting. Great video.
