Dumb mistake leads to Near death experience - Both reserve parachutes failed - Paragliding crash

First of all, I walked away after the crash with only a minor bruise(not even scratches).
Kössen, Austria 13.08.2022
Inattention and routine was my main mistake on this last flight. Both reserves got caught up and i didn't got them out. Impact was softend by the Harness-protector.
Hope you can learn from this video.
Happy to be alive, happy to be unhurt.
Fly safe ;-)

I expected a nasty scream when you hit the ground.
**hits ground**
"...whew."

(Not so) Fun Fact: I was standing at the landing site that day, waiting for first ever real schooling flight in Kössen to happen and that's when I saw you coming down like that. Running over to you as one of the first, I was expecting the worst but turns out you were more than lucky. Actually went up and did my very first proper flight that afternoon and it was amazing. Super glad you were fine.

Wow, wow, wow, wow. I'm glad you're ok.

At least the music didn’t get interrupted and you got down safe 😂

That wood post was too close for comfort.. I can only imagine the injuries if you were to of hit that. Glad you are safe!

That was nail biting seeing the ground approaching fast. You must have very flexible bones. Glad to see you’re ok to fly another day.

[panpanchx]

That was hell man!! Glad that you made that woow at the end to confirm you’r ok.

Hab von dem Unfall in den Nachrichten gelesen. Dachte dass die Schirme zumindest ein bisschen den Fall abbremsen hätten müssen. Aber dass du so hart aufschlägst und ohne Verletzungen davongekommen bist grenzt an ein Wunder.
Schön dass es dir gut geht.

Wow! Zum Glück ist Dir nichts passiert. Sehr beeindruckendes Video. Hab mich schon immer gefragt ob mit genug Drehung viel der Aufprallenergie nicht „weggerutscht“ werden kann. Jetzt hab ich’s mal gesehen. Gurtzeug voraus (Sat) hilft da natürlich nochmal. Ist jetzt mehr akademisch, weil man sowas nicht geplant hinbekommt, aber dennoch.
Danke für das Video (und die ganzen herrlichen Testival Fail Videos, schau ich seit Jahren immer). Happy Birthday and stay safe.

[williamrobinson]

Dude how are you okay!? Towards the end I was like how is he gonna pull this off, well fuck that’s the ground. Amazing your okay glad for it too. Keep on keeping on.

You stayed very calm and tried to fix it till the last second...thank goodness you weren't hurt, most people would have panicked...but you stayed calm and kept working the problem...good job. I'm sure its something you won't do again (Twisting your lines),

[paraglidingbolivia]

Holy shit!! Glad you're ok, last time I saw something like that going down in Kössen u remember a lot more screaming and the pilot had more injuries, even though he was caught by the trees.
Also glad you didn't hit the plane at the fliegerbar.
Looks like Kössen is the place to survive mistakes ;)

[EmanuelBuzek]

[richardbodine]

Glad you are okay. I will have to say though you Set a great example of keep trying until you hit the ground.
