Crazy Glider Videos

[ContestID67]

Here are some YouTube videos all entitled "Crazy Glider" (or
variations).

Now, why can't we have an SSA party like THIS?

That is absolutely the best video I've ever seen for soooo many
reasons. The advantage of non-certified aircraft has never been more
exploited to create an audience. Great to see one fixed wing doing
loops...we should have tag along with more.

Yeah, I imagined myself not qqquuuiiiittteee getting over the top,
falling straight down into the middle of the wing, which would totally
envelope me as I plummeted towards the ground streaming a bright line of
fabric. Of course, I would struggle valiantly, finally popping my
reserve, but it would just lie there beside me, since it would also be
totally enveloped.

My last thought would be "Hope they put this on YouTube!"

For those of you not familiar with paragliding, those "loops" are
actually forward tucks or tumbles of the wing, as in OUTSIDE (but
positive G) loops! You could still fall into the wing, though.--

Thankfully, paragliding is a young man's game - so I won't be temped.

The words at the end of the video say it all - "in memory of"...
