PatPux Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Wow, that is scary! We know you made it, but you wouldn't have known it from the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george1966 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Gez, that was lucky, must of been difficult getting out of the harness. Glad your ok, has it put you off the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myusername Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Wow! Timely reminder that you don't have to land in the water to be wary of it. My lesson from your video is that I'm going to fix my hook knife somewhere more accessible. Did you unclip to get out or cut yourself free? Would an agama have made any difference or was the water too shallow for that? Thanks for posting it & glad you're ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 nothing broken even propeller. I did not cut anything. After my feets touch ground, it's very fast just 4-5 seconds before sank into water. I was tried to find the belt to unlock at by breast. 2-3 times, I can't find it. I think, if I can not find it now, I will die for sure. then a few second release it. For both legs, I can release every quickly, this lock is easy to release https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/imag ... 15LoeXZUmu Lucky me, no cable and wing is not over me, I think I spent about 1 minute under water and I told myself I must not die here. After this, I think I now how people died under water feel. Very scary. It deep about 1.2 meters and my frame hit ground very quickly. I will fly away from water and will not do anything dangerous again. Hope this helpful. (Sorry for my English : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Im glad you ok nothing broken or worse... Just goes too prove if you fly near water you need a floatation device like an Agama or Power float system.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldeakin Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks for posting that, it is a good reminder, I often remind people of the danger when I see them flying low over water, but in this case you was only near water and still almost drowned.
