Incident Details

September 16, 2010 Location of the incident: , Type of Incident:

Started motor with warm up after checking everything out. After clipping in i was tired from the weight on my back. The run was hard and the paraglider got eaten by the motor. cost 3000. dollars and now trash. thank god i had an extra wing and still blown launch. The frame was hitting the back of my legs while trying to run. My advice to all pilots new in this sport to clip in to the unit to see how it feels on your back before you purchase something that you cant get your money back from. I have learned a costly lesson in deciding on something that looks good but on the other hand is not really so good.
