  1. over my 42 years in my aviation journey, I have had many sad moments where people have departed to a greater place, people that are greatly missed by many, the pain felt is deep, the only way that I have managed to cope is personal knowledge of falling from 85 ft to the ground, that of which I am grateful I survived, without going into detail I will say that during the fall I had no fear but total peace, everything goes into slow motion, therefor it is with my experience that falling into the void holds no fear, I can only hope that this gives some comfort to anyone that has lost a loved one in this way, I no it is hard to comprehend unless one experences this, but I can with experience asure you there is no fear or pain.x
  2. Ok, Nighyiun when starting your engine let it tick over only, even better, with centrifugal clutch engine, never run up when not fastened into your seat if you hold the frame and run up the engine that is fine unless? the prop breaks this will spin the paramotor 180 degrees and slice you up within a fraction of a second, if you are secured in the seat (fastened in) the worse that can happen is you will be thrown around but not hurt , so start your engine then clip in then when is all clear (CLEAR PROP ) increase revs and warm up the engine safely. paramotoring in the right meteorological conditions is as safe as crossing the road while being totally observant, the danger lies with a raging propeller and your lack of respect. FLY SAFE AND OBSERVANT AND REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT EXPERT EVER I AM A PILOT FLYING FROM THE BEGINNING 43 FLYING YEARS AND STILL A NOVIS JUST LIKE YOUR INSTRUCTOR, NO MATTER HOW MANY HOURS/YEARS YOU FLY ONE MISTAKE AND THAT S THAT. fly observant fly safe.
