Paramotor crash

This crash was cause by not doing a proper inspection of the wing before take off. I had a stuck brake line that wouldn't release pressure. Always do a thorough pre-flight check.

I admit it does look like that but i keep my lines a little longer than most because I dont like keeping my hands high with my high hang point. Im very sensitive about brake pressure at take off and im convinced now that the brake line on the left was stuck. I flared to take off and when I let off to gain speed, the right side returned but the left didnt. I was headed for a tree and tried to turn right but it wouldnt go right. I was forced to pull more brake to the left to miss the tree. This caused the wing to collapse. I threw the wing out and didnt do a good inspection because I wanted to fly before the sun went down. Ill never do that again. Thanks for your thoughts.

Crashing sucks and I'm glad you're alright...that being said after watching your video a few times it appears to me that your hand position on both brakes is pulled in quite far, never allowing the wing to gain speed and it stalled...you're hands are certainly not raised. Do you think that may have played into the event?
