upon landing....i would have promptly kick the pilot square in the dick.
Shoves arm up pilot's ass, grabs prostate - "I might die today, but you're going to remember this."
Pretty sure I would not have made it that far. But I do have an issue with trust, so generally I watch what people do to make sure they do what they are supposed to.
That is crazy! Can't imagine his thoughts as they steer to the left over that big valley instead of being able to go to the right and land. I bet nice view wasn't one of them. Lol
Dick, then teeth, then head, and a couple in the ass for good measure!

I think right about the time liftoff occurred and that oh-shit feeling kicked in, I'd have been climbing up so I could sit or stand on the axle, or maybe try to ride my wife.
I don't know anything about hang gliding, but I can't imagine there's no preflight that he failed to do. As far as I'm concerned his failure to make an emergency landing after take off would have been murder. There were plenty of spots he could have crash landed. Instead he chose to extend the flight for minutes (felt like hours just watching it) to hit the usual landing site, which to me turns gross negligence into premeditated murder.
That put a couple of us on the edge of our seats. We're sitting here yelling at the stupid fucker LAND THERE LAND THERE, but no. I'd of field stomped the fucker most rikky tick.
i would have stuck to that guy like an octopus, he would have to walk around w me stuck to him a couple days till i calmed down enough to release
That was WAY to long of a ride. Seriously. I honestly can't imagine what the hell level of all wholly terror was going through that poor bastards head, but geezus kristo, he had a literal death grip going. Man I hate heights...........
I kind of can't believe he didn't let go at the start when he was 10ft off the ground.
I thought the same thing, but I guess panic kind of shuts the brain down.
Yea and I am not made of rubber like I used to be. 10ft looks like 50 any more.
A perfect example of regular forearm "workouts" can save your life...

Sounds eerily similar to the situation/conversation that happened with my doctor when I had to go for my first "old man" physical.
I asked my doctor is he was going to send me flowers the next day.
You should have let your chiropractor do the Dr Jellyfinger test to you.
The passenger is clueless, as are 99.9999% of them. If they're not rated as a pilot, they go with whatever you tell them. It's YOUR job, as pilot in command, to inform the pax of what's happening and what they should/should not do. It's also YOUR job, as PIC, to ensure your pax are strapped in. As the article states, the pilot stands to lose his license, and rightfully so!
