Paragliding reserve deployment accident; speedrider to the rescue

Soft snow, no damage to pilot or gear. GROUND HANDLING, GROUND HANDLING, GROUND HANDLING forever more! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Ground handling IS THE KEY to fly safely 🙏🏼 Ground handing even on a level surface is fun exercise on its own! Take it as a fun challenge! 💪🏼 Remember to practice beforehand and after. ALL THE TIMES when there is suitable wind at your location! SO. MUCH. FUN. TO. THE. TAKERS! 😋 Take your time to really know your glider. Good night sleeps helps a lot too, learning is often times unnoticeable process. Somehow you just are better the next day. 😁 Take mental notes how you and wing behaves on various winds and situations. ✌🏻 - Yes, sometimes or even often times, lines go into a mess mode. 🙈 BUT hey! YOU learn to figure out those faster and faster too! 😅 0:00 “Just fly“ 0:02 “Hands up!“ 0:07 “Left, left“ 0:10 “Reserve dropped!“ 0:12 “Land down, land down!“ 0:20 Crash landing 0:23 Rescue begins 1:15 Miniwing collapses, cannot focus grapping the reserve 1:24 Reserve drags downwind still
