AVOID DISASTER: This ONE THING Drastically Increases the Chance of Accident!!!
AVOID DISASTER: This ONE THING Drastically Increases the Chance of Paragliding Accident!! Turbulent air and stall point on paragliders. How dangerous is it?
The way a paragliding wing responds to our inputs depends on various weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, turbulence,… Flying in different conditions requires us, as paragliding pilots, to adjust our piloting techniques. For instance, the amount of brake pressure we apply for turning or flaring needs to be adapted. This is because using the same amount of brake pressure on a calm day and on a turbulent day would yield vastly different reactions from our wing.
For example, if we typically need to pull our brakes 50cm deep to reach the stall point on a calm day, this measurement could be significantly less on a turbulent day. Consequently, our stall point could occur much faster in turbulent conditions. Adjusting our piloting techniques accordingly ensures safer flights!
