Paragliding crash

Was that a Stall Warning horn we can hear? I don't know anything about these
things. His problems started right after the horn went crazy. Strike that,
his problems may have started when he strapped that thing on him.

Oh yeah. When pedestrians, journalists and other kinds of lower spezies
think aviation is dangerous, they are ignorant. But those same pilots
who know everything about aviation act exactly the same when it comes to
flying apparati they don't know anything about.

BTW, what you've heard is an acoustic variometer (vertical speed
indicator). The increasing beep rate means he's entered a thermal and is
gaining altitude.
