Well that answers some questions! One is should I do it? Nope, don't have to now. Well done, theory is proven now archive the bugger! That foot drag was epic hahaha! Reminds me of the soaring video that seduced me into paragliding 6 years ago. Low proximity and seemingly endless ridge (I think it was in Spain or Portugal)

Shows how irrational fear is, this is so much more dangerous than the thermals you are worried about.

Couldnt be more aware of the irrationality of fear. Of all the sports I've done, crashes I've had, for a bit of turbulence at height to have gotten me in such a mess is ridiculous. And that's what was more infuriating about it. A barrier to my joy of a sport I dreamt of as a child, appearing out of nowhere with no reason or way of stopping it. Still on the mend really but getting there. In the meantime, here I am REALLY enjoying stuff that is comparatively silly. 🤷♂️ go figure.

@@Ripstop_pilot I think it is scary because it is invisible and out of your control. At least with this stunt you are controlling the danger and it is obvious.

Buy a real parakite. It will be the best money you ever spent ;D I fly them in thermals too. Besides it being quite mussle intensive, it's amazing

How fast would I need to run if I did this on my 2 (two) sq/m?

I calculated it. It's not looking good. Essentially 100mph which would be far easier to base jump with it and let gravity get you to speed. Dont do it 🤣
