Presenting paragliders (who are still alive) in the news! :shock:

A paragliding safety message inspired by James "Sticky-wing" Bradley

NO FRAME, NO BRAIN - April 2018

This guy made the news in paragliding.

So did this guy.

And these two guys.

This guy, too.

This gal.

This guy.

This joyrider and the 10-year-old kid.

This guy.

These two guys.

This guy.

This guy.

NOTE: Most paragliding accidents are not photographed. These represent a tiny, tiny percentage of paragliders in the news in April of 2018. Also, none of the 1,683 paragliding fatalities since 1986 are included here. For a few of those, go to http://ushawks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1842&sid=79bee6d16af8230c40afc434b1e64158

Rick,

Regarding your Sponsor, are those "sticky wings" boneless? :think:

Considering the content being sponsored, it really seems like they should be! :thumbup:

Boned or boneless, the outcome is the same.

Don't get one of these on your glider.
You'll never get it unstuck!!!!! :shock:

BTW, I think Jimbo up there might be stuck to his bed...

Boy oh boy! The flavor of sticky wings must be ummm ummm good! I'm not sure how it connects with (mis?) launches of my hang glider. :?:

Beyond all that, I came up with a little poem while walking my dog -

That can't be a man I see,

hanging from a collapsible canopy?

Any creature with half a brain,

wouldn't dangle themselves

from a piece of cloth, that has no frame!

"When we autopsied the unfortunate creature," lectured the university professor to the eager crowd of taxidermists, "we discovered this tiny brain in its large skull cavity. The only explanation seemed to be that the creature had experienced countless concussions in the past, causing its brain to contract with each ensuing impact, until the damaged brain was less than half its original size. Perhaps this explains the strange nesting behavior of the Ozone Warbler and why the creature seems perfectly happy in its propensity to create nesting craters in which to lay its eggs instead of building sensible nests like other avions."
