May 13, 2024, Ölüdeniz, Turkey. At about 1600m above sea level, I start my acro maneuvers under the guidance of Théo de Blic, world champion in acro paragliding. I attempt to enter a heli via a stall. I mess up the entry and begin to spin in a twisted manner. Instead of exiting forwards, I try a back exit. This mistake immediately results in getting twisted about five or six turns.
At first, I try to untwist using leg movements. It begins to work, but then the wing engages in a 360, and I end up getting satellized. No way out for me, I throw my reserve.
However, the Rogallo reserve gets tangled with the paraglider's lines. I still have some time before deploying the second reserve. I repeatedly try to clear the lines, and finally, the Rogallo deploys.
The paraglider's lines encircle those of the Rogallo, and some even wrap around my forearms. I must free them to neutralize the paraglider by wrapping the brakes. Then I grab the Rogallo's brakes, but also caught in the lines, I barely manage to steer it towards the beach. No chance of reaching it, I end up in the water. A boat rescues me within a minute.
