Had to be pilot error of course, because nothing was found to be wrong with the aircraft.

Oh, wait, the thing that was wrong was thinking it was an aircraft!

Could you land your hang glider in this pasture without breaking your neck and killing yourself?
This guy couldn't do it in a paraglider.

Powered Paragliding
Okay. Tucker got on my short list.

He can't quit, now.
He'll keep pushing limits like it means something until he hits failure.
The day he almost crashed, May 15, 2016, a guy named Trevor killed himself on a speedwing in Owens Valley.
But in regard to paramotors (just the fatalities I know of), people killed themselves on those things on:
May 11
June 4
June 23
July 3
July 10
July 31
Aug 3
Aug 21
Aug 27
Sep 1
Sep 12
Sep 16
Sep 24
Oct 2
Oct 10
Oct 10 (a different place)
Oct 22
Oct 23, 2016

A paraglider is not a wing.
It's not an airfoil.
It's laundry.
It will kill you.

You don't have to be complacent.
You don't have to rationalize how it's your fault.
When you least expect it, it will just kill you, anyway.
That's what happens.
