Low altitude paragliding death

[John Doe[_4_]]

Looks similar to the messing around that the powered paragliding
(paramotoring) guys on YouTube do while advertising their
business.

The clown had no chance to recover and slammed hard into the
ground.

Isn't rec.paragliding ------> that way?

I don't think you'll find many folk *here* who will appreciate this
vid, and even less who will appreciate being disrespectful of other
aviator's misfortunes. Just sayin...

Is there a group with that name, Asshole?

If you can point to a properly labeled group that has a larger
percentage of posts about paragliding, I will go there. Otherwise,
you will just have to cope.

I and many other UseNet regulars do not appreciate the garbage
that Google Groups users dump onto UseNet all day every day, but
we have to cope.

It is not a misfortune when someone takes unnecessary risks. Looks
like too many idiots getting killed. Then again, at least they
will not be procreating anymore.

I've got an idea, how about starting a group on Paragliding where you
will have a captive audience and a much better exchange of information.

You possibly had rec.aviation.hang-gliding in mind?
It does have a problem though: 80% of the posts there in the last three
months emanate from the Belfort-Decker Obsession person; and that's
probably the very best place for him to post.

OK, here's a yahoo group for you:
http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/1600431953 , and here is
paraglidingforum:
http://www.paraglidingforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=6739
and http://www.poweredparaglidingcolorado.com/Resources/Resources.html
has like another like 10 places if you actually want to have
meaningful discussions on the subject.

Being aggressive, vulgar, name calling, and off topic while being
anonymous Mr Doe, are things that will not buy you any friends around
here. There's is little (not none...) paragliding interest here, and
zero interest in snuff films posted by people who lack tact, respect,
and maturity.

Funny that someone who is such a crusader against spam might as well
be a google spammer himself, as far as this usenet group is concerned.
I'm sure you've already won plenty killfile awards around here...
and reading some of your other postings illuminates your consistently
pleasant disposition. Good day sir.

I do not need meaningful discussion about everything I post here
on UseNet, Spammer, and I certainly do not need to be trolled.

> Being aggressive, vulgar, name calling,

Go **** yourself, Google Groups Spammer.

> and off topic while being anonymous Mr Doe,

That is typical. A Spammer likes to beat his chest about using a
real name. But in fact, he could not spam UseNet if he did not use
real contact information. Like most other regulars on UseNet, I
use a handle, Spammer, and of course that is not the same as being
anonymous. As a Spammer, you want everyone to know who you are. As
someone who just enjoys UseNet for what it is, you only need to
know what I do here on UseNet.

Bull****. UseNet is an uncensored, unmoderated forum that has
never prescribed to any individuals idea of propriety.

After you clean up the ****load of spam your Google Groups news
server dumps on UseNet every day, then your sermon on UseNet
etiquette might have meaning.

> Funny that someone who is such a crusader against spam

Your stinking Google Groups news server dumps ****loads of spam on
UseNet every day, Spammer. The obtuse spammers might not be in
this group today, but they will come around.

Bull****, Spammer. Your stinking Google Groups news server dumps
****loads of spam on UseNet every day.

Playing with an imaginary kill file friend is a common tactic by
the clueless and/or passive trolls.

Apparently the clueless Google Groups Spammer is alluding to
running off to play with his imaginary kill file friend...

Google Groups users complaining about others not adhering to some
idea of UseNet etiquette is totally hypocritical. Clean up your
own house, scumbag Spammer.

That is not a problem.
I won't be able to participate for a while, but the concept of
powered paragliding blows me away. The first non-fixed wing
powered flight. They all should be using electric power though
IMO, the videos are marvelous except for the fact that the
narrator has to yell over his loud two-stroke engine noise. The
engine noise takes away from the beauty. If battery power
technology is developed the way it should be, electric powered
paragliding will be feasible soon. They also need to fix the
problem that allows the pilot to be slinged/slammed into the
ground even at low altitudes.

Not sure what that riddle means.

Not for anywhere near the same weight. Besides, the center of
gravity of a powered paraglider is much lower. Winged aircraft
suffer similar failures.
