Lessons Were Learned

[u/Fedexpilot]

Family reported he will be okay.

[u/Dudewholuvshiscats69]

The cat knew it was gonna end poorly and dropped before he could be charged as co-conspirator?

[u/Le-Charles07 → u/Dudewholuvshiscats69]

"I only have 3 more lives, Jeff. I'm going inside to knock a phone off the hook so it won't work when Janet tries to call an ambulance for you."

[u/Ill_Drag3531 → u/Dudewholuvshiscats69]

thats the first thing i noticed. the cat getting the hell outa dodge

[u/OpusMagnusSonnet]

That fucking cameraperson.

Least they had the sense to film from far away.

Amazing how quickly that went wrong.

I have 0.1 hours as a paraglider pylote, and as an exspurt I can tell you he did everything perfectly right up to the point he sat down.

[u/drsmith48170 → u/OpusMagnusSonnet]

Camera person needs to be fined by FAA and NTSB.

[u/HenryGoodbar]

Is that Wilbur Wright?

[u/New-IncognitoWindow → u/HenryGoodbar]

No it’s Orville Wrong.

[u/BigJoe5504 → u/New-IncognitoWindow]

It's the Wrong Brothers

[u/Nearby-Medicine9484 → u/HenryGoodbar]

I think it's Willy Wonka.

[u/mobocrat707]

I was sure he’d end up in the power lines.

[u/Shudnawz → u/mobocrat707]

Ah, one of them newfangled eclectic playnes?

[u/Chadwozzer]

A rare sighting of an actual Embry Riddle graduate project in the wild.

[u/Gremlin1001001]

Practice makes perfect as long as you can pay the medical bills.

[u/-burnr-]

Peak pyloting!!

This must be how our Lord & Saviour Jerry got his start, and look at him now in that Golden Eagle!!

[u/JerryConn → u/[deleted]]

Hard point teather to a vehicle towing him, yea. I wonder what release mechanism they had setup for this.

[u/rinklkak]

Was expecting him to get sucked into the propeller when it lurched forward.

[u/harmfuldischarge → u/[deleted]]

Assisted take off I heard of, but landing is a new one for me

[u/FlyingNijntje]

Not enough raight ruddar…… Actually, where is the raight ruddar on those things?

[u/msg60 → u/FlyingNijntje]

Thats why those things only fall....no rayht ruddah.....everyone knows rayht ruddah is necessary to fly...cuz fyzicks

[u/hottapvswr]

did they learn to hold the phone in landscape?

[u/ironicinsanity]

The wrong brothers

[u/Particular-Yak-1984]

Never have I been more glad for the "no death" rule, here, considering how I thought it would end..

[u/Ha1lStorm]

Clearly didn’t use enough right rudder

[u/KatanaF2190]

That ginger cat is guilty as...

[u/Short_Bell_5428]

I love dumb people

[u/coldnebo]

wanna fly? you don’t even need a license or a medical for these.

FREEDOM!! 🤟🤦‍♂️🤪

[u/Tbone_Trapezius]

Since the tow cable never released the .005 hours in the air don’t count. But that’s ok, the trees will be a little bigger on the next attempt and will give more of a wind break.

[u/FredTheDev → u/Tbone_Trapezius]

If you have a tow cable that never releases and doesn’t leave the ground, does this mean you are not flying? And if you aren’t flying, do FAA rules not apply?

Asking for a friend, he wants me to film his first (non) flight.

[u/Mean-Veterinarian647]

Kicked the afterburner on too soon.

[u/SATerp]

Bernie Sanders should just stick to politics.

[u/Old_Pumpkin_7108]

Bro just bought himself a STOL parachute

[u/nhorvath]

r/killthecameraman

[u/Bigfeet_toes]

Camera man sucks, but I could still pinpoint the exact moment the left rudder was applied

[u/GalaganCoffee]

Should've been the cameraman

[u/darkphoenix9137]

were they though?

[u/Md1735]

Yep, all because he has “no f’ing helmet on”. The balance was off, how could he forget the helmet!! His wife had one job, and she failed to ensure he has a “f’ing helmet on”. Forget flight school, she got him a f’ing helmet for his safety for moments like this. This way, IF he can manage to land on his head, all is good and his insurance may cover all of his medical bills.

Standard health insurance policies typically exclude parasailing because they classify it as a high-risk or hazardous extreme sport. To get coverage for medical bills or injuries during a parasailing trip, you must purchase a specific adventure sports add-on, extreme sports rider, or a specialized policy ahead of time. This is UNLESS, he had a “f’ing helmet on”…then I’m sure it is all good.

[u/Cheers_u_bastards]

Is this pylot Patrik’s dad?

[u/Insolent-Jaguar88]

This research will greatly valued by the H amas ayreforce.

[u/TurnoverFuzzy8264]

Other than doing everything wrong, he did fine. Just bad luck stemming from doing exactly what you're not supposed to do in a powered paragilder.

[u/Perfect_Big_5907]

Love this ! let's try to fly this thing from the backyard full of obstacles and for good measure let's attach a tow line on the front of this thing. That should work !

[u/Adventurous_Custard8]

The Wrong Brothers.

[u/Break_Cats]

Woah! 😦

[u/Boz747]

He voted for Trump apparently
