Safety Paragliding -v- Paramotoring

[helimed01]

A broken prop is a pain in the wallet more than a safety issue. I have seen plenty of props busted and never seen an injury as a result of that broken prop.

I think were talking about safety with regards to Injury here rather than kit.

I seem to recall sitting in s field watching Pete try to take off and his prop slice open a fuel tank which burst into flames. Wasnt the injury from that a broken leg and burns?

Due to not doing me pre flights and having the speed line pulled in on one side. the strobes I had on the frame ignited the petrol not the prop

I would say without the prop slicing off the filler throat and then the fuel vaporising as it got sprayed over the field it wouldnt of blown - was quite impressive all the same and not everyday you see someone effectively blow up.

Have you ever thought of being a councillor Rob? perhaps taking calls for the Samaritans.

Note to self.

If ever feeling a bit down about something don't call Rob.
