Speed flying is similar to Paragliding but still a completely different sport. With paragliding you could potentially stay in the air for a very long time hitting thermals to gain lift and altitude. Speed flying the wings are usually smaller and are hitting speeds much faster than paragliding. With either of these two sports you have to be very knowledgeable about wind conditions, temperature, air currents, and the way wind is manipulated by land features.
This video shows an error by me and nothing else. I should have not gone over to the area that I did. I flew right into a rotor (the way the wind is manipulated when it hits a land feature) and this caused my wing collapse which caused me to go spiraling into the mountain. Before ever flying I did study up on wind currents, thermals, conditions, ect. I know the dangers of rotors in high wind conditions however in this flight I don't really have an excuse. I was just not thinking. Two broken ribs, concussion, traumatic brain injury, acute pneumothorax, laceration of the liver, and a pulmonary contusion later, I would say I hopefully learned my lesson.
Let me know what you think about this video. If you are new to the sport like and comment. Maybe I can give you some incite to help you not make the same mistakes I have.
Also, I would like to add that Idaho Dodos had NOTHING to do with this flight. The Idaho Dodos were not even present at this flight. It was a poor decision on my part first of all to even fly and second of all to go fly over the last ridge.
