Steve Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If I was to put my daughter up on her first flight I'd give her a helmet and a pair of gloves. I definitely wouldn't then send her out over water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmwood Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am shocked at the total lack of safety considerations in this video! No helmet, proper ear defenders, gloves no suitable footwear and over water??? Even more shocked considering its his daughter flying.. what a complete muppet thank god he is in the USA far far away from us ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It looks like he hadn't even shown the pilot where the kill switch was before the motor was run up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Really is daft, not to get her to wear a helmet. Muppet. As bad ,if not worse, than sending people up with no protection for their coxix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 How can she get into any trouble whatsoever shes using the safest ,strongest ,Worlds best Paramotor equipment....and all women/girls have built in Buoyancy aids.. ..But looks like its also causing her to take little steps because if she did try a walk/run properly the bottom of the frame would be hitting her calfs .....

Farmer_Dave Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh Gary mate. Not biting today.....just too tired...Off upstairs now to find some witch-hazel to rub on my poor bruised calve muscles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poz Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Ohh noo....a Dellette I have to say, I don't think I've ever been so tense watching a PPG video. For some reason it just went against the grain for me. Maybe it's because I have a daughter and that whole protective thing just kicked in.

slim Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I couldn't watch it all. The point where I realised she didn't know how to kill the engine was the point where it became too painful. Taking a risk with your own life is one thing - imposing that choice on someone else (especially a child) is just evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_SFX Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wow thats a very stupid parent, she looked terrified/in shock and rightly so, what an idiot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
