Crazy Glider Videos
Here are some YouTube videos all entitled "Crazy Glider" (or
variations). Now, why can't we have an SSA party like THIS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1FCN...ture=rec-HM-r2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJFaz...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaF_9...eature=related - John |

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. LT Now, why can't we have an SSA party like THIS?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1FCN...ture=rec-HM-r2 - John |

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.

You could still fall into the wing, though.-- Dennis |

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