How not to die
Since paragliders have a flexible structure, it is possible, that turbulences cause the cannopy to collapse and make the paraglider somewhat uncontrollable. This paraglider gets unlucky. His chute collapses and produces knots in his lines, leaving the paraglider in a stable descent in a rotating movement. The pilot manages to pull his reserve and lands on top of a tree... lucky him you would think. But just when everything seems to be all right... watch it yourself to find out what happens.

Well that was a little nerve wracking...
I didn't know you could go upsidedown in those...
Ouch...
holy cow... i am never doing that.
So, paragliding is off the list of things I want to try.
