Incident Details

March 5, 2024 7:14 AM Location of the incident: San Antonio, Texas Type of Incident: Hard Landing, Pilot Error

Stalled the wing at about 70 ft AGL. Could not recover.  Parachutes fall.   Take away, if this happened at 200 feet, this would’ve not been an incident. Altitude is your friend.
