It was a great flight. However, with a wind speed of 18km/h and gusts of 33km/h, it was rather micxed meat. Had trouble keeping my height because I have 96kg at 18 square metres. But I found the updrafts and was able to keep my height steady. When I was able to raise the starting place, a gust moved me slightly and with the pendulum I got into the lee. After that, I had almost no pressure in the brake lines and still tried to fly to the left of the rock, but had so much sinking that I hard on the slope. Couldn’t believe afterwards that I had almost nothing except some bruises and a little dust in my eyes. Not to imagine what could have gone wrong. Retrospectively, two wind directions were also felt when I ran back, and crossing winds are simply very dangerous so close to the terrain. A hard turn back into the wind would certainly have been good. But there probably are no intelligent accidents;)

crossing that ridge was asking for it
Holy crap! 😬 I'm happy you're ok! Especially with that light weight harness, glad you didn't injure your back, that was a hard landing! Thanks for sharing the video! Thumbs up.
Glad you’re not hurt. Takes thick skin to share this video!
Tough guy! did you have any frontal collapse? almost no pressure in the brake lines. How was your brake position in the last seconds?
I fly also a Moustache. I am afraid for this. When you take the Brake, you have no more Energy, when you fly with Hands up, you have it. Her you see, gloves and airback iş also on the beach safty. Good luck.
you were seeing how close you could get. oops you got to close. caught between a rock and a hard place. you got lucky!!!
You burned off luck enough for a year or 2 in just a few seconds…
in good stead of an obsolete moustache as a visual , one wise man could create a vertebrate decal as a helping mindset some day.
lucky escape .
Mistake to learn from. Lee side rotors also in laminar costal winds. Never cross that ridge!
Wow, a crash with the moustache is more dangerous than with a normal wing because the speed is higher. I'm glad you ended up in a relatively safe spot.
you're good the most important. experiences earn it. Fly Baby Fly.
