I always see the guy flying around San Felipe and giving ride for a small fee, I'll pass. RIP to the pilot, died doing what he loved and not driving
to work. BajaTed - 8-16-2021 at 05:04 PM
Happens more than you know.
There are already some crosses on the coastal mountain ridge by Puerto Salina from past crashes. Updrafts are the lure.
Yaw, pitch & roll, keep it under control.

Several years ago in Lima, Peru, we had one crash about 200 yards in front of us as we drove up a canyon on a 4-lane from the beach back to our
hotel. He did not survive. Yes, it does happen more than we realize.Glidergeek - 8-17-2021 at 04:16 PM
RIP Gustavo.
Some say Airspeed, Altitude or brains. you need at least 2 of the 3 to survive.
I've flown and done some risky things in the past but those paragliders are really dangerous.

Crazy, first flight my wife took was in a ultra light and she loved it, but she was still scared of commercial flights? I remember a lot of them had
VW motors, I've had a lot of bugs that broke down often, not good in flight!mtgoat666 - 8-17-2021 at 08:59 PM
Be sure to wear a parachute!
Can’t they put a parachute on the aircraft so whole thing gets let down gently?BajaBlanca - 8-17-2021 at 09:47 PM
I agree that it is wonderful that he was doing what he loved to do.
apparently he had heart issues and this may have been a factor.

Water landings are not a good thing, except for Captain Sully of course!motoged - 8-17-2021 at 11:12 PM
