This idiot will be dead within 1-2 years.............

Y'know...its' fascinating to look at, but I really feel that if you have to
loop your wing to get your jollies or prove a point or whatever the
motivator is to do it, then its' time to get into another sport.
Hanggliding/paragliding is pretty intense "as is". Making it extreme is
just plain reckless. Ever read your placard?

Aside from my rant, it was pretty cool watching this goof try and kill
himself. Wonder if he's trying out for "Jackass...the sequel?" LOL

Hey... and no helmet on the one pilot. But wait. That's a safety issue. And heaven forbid I mention a safety issue on the forum.

My apologies.

Aw c'mon Matthew---even I noticed the no-helmet on that guy, and it actually bothered me! :) :)

Yeah, the looping doesn't look like that much fun, frankly - I'm just
psyched about the site! - Hugh
