Default Paraglider pilot missing in eastern Nevada

The report was very informative and well written, though I had to look
up some of the jargon to gain a fuller understanding of what likely
happened. Given the location and duration of the flight, I wonder if he
carried enough water to avoid dehydration which can also decrease g
tolerance. A sad event, indeed.

Dan, you make a good point, the tell, tell of the situation is why the reserve was not activated, certainly points to incapacity of the pilot. My wife is also a jumper, well, she was before she ended up in a cast for a year, she looked at the report and said, he was not conscious.
