Superior to any Six Flags attraction.
T
Everyone is like ‘Woah that’s super impressive’. Meanwhile that guys just like ‘AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!’
A
Nope I have gone to Ölüdeniz, they are asking you if you wanna do some crazy moves when in the air
C
That was my first question: Is the person doing that on purpose? Should they be committed to a sanitarium?
A
Yep they are doing it on purpose 😄😄
R
AAAAAaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAAaaa
B
For when you want to die, but not before puking your guts out for several minutes.
I
The low altitude vomit comet.
S
Is that Oludeniz?
E
Yes
D
It sure is.
I
Yes, it is
I
I was thinking Croatia.
S
I’m pretty sure it is Turkey. I’ve been paragliding there in a tandem, but not like that!
A
First off, I just need to know if he was doing it on purpose? All other observations depend on that primary bit of info.
R
Its on purpose. You have to continuously manipulate your controls to do that and maintain tension on your lines, otherwise you’ll fall into your wing while inverted, and become the worlds fastest human burrito for a few seconds as you plummet to the ground.
E
You won’t have to manipulate the controls once you’re in it. The acro gliders are tunes specifically for this.
R
You don’t even need to hold tension?
E
Nope. There are videos of Axel opening and drinking a red bull while in an infinite, and a bunch of others of people eating bananas, etc. Honestly, while you can easily mess up and get “gift wrapped” by your paraglider while learning the infinite tumble, it’s one of the easiest acro maneuvers out there.
R
TIL…
M
So what prevents these pilots/riders from G-locking and blacking out and crashing?
E
The Gs jump up to 4-5 right as the pilot passes the bottom of the swing. However, that’s only for a split second, so it doesn’t really affect you much. So they’re not really a concern here.
F
Why would the worlds fastest falling human burrito need to manipulate the controls
D
Its quite impressive.
G
Yes. It’s called an infinite tumble on an acro paraglider.
[
Did…… did he stop ? Was he even in control because I didnt think you would be doing that and if so. he dead?
C
If NASA’s calculations are correct, he’s due to transit Mars by 2031
[
Ok…… You made me laugh. You win.
M
First question at videos at reddit are: is this the original speed or is it sped up Without something nearby as a relation, the speed and the radius of the spin are difficult to estimate
E
This is original speed.
L
Ummm… you have a human for scale right there…
M
But he is moving.
L
You can pause and use him for scale I’m saying…
M
It’s a bit more complicated, but okay.
L
How so? A man is 5.5 to 6 feet on average. Find a good frame and work from there for the radius. Im not trying to do all that, but thought i could give you an idea where to start.
J
Looks cool as hell, but I’d definitely lose my angular momentum right at the top of my arc, then fall right into the parachute.
1
Good thing that he is doing it over water, so he is safe.
E
Water doesn’t save you from falling into your wing. There’s definitely people who die from fucking up their “infinite” attempts by pulling the brake too early.
1
He should aim for the deeper part
E
I usually just aim for the bushes
A
Me too brother, me too
Y
A true thrill seeker would do it over shark infested waters.
B
Do you know what that sound is, Highness? Those are the shrieking eels. If you don’t believe me, just wait. They always grow louder when they’re about to feed on human flesh.
A
How dare him being a real thrill seeker.
D
When I was a kid on a swing this is what it felt like.
C
Surprised the thing doesn’t collapse on itself
D
You keep the g forces high enough with that spin and the weight of the person will keep the chute pulling against the air resistance upside down or right side up. Centrifugal force.
C
Yup but fuck your motion up and lose momentum at the wrong time and you could end up in a position that is hard to recover from

Centripetal is a real force acting in towards the point of rotation. Centrifugal is the illusionary force (actually momentum) pointing out. Unfortunately correcting people often ends in down votes by the scientifically ~~illustrated~~ illiterate even when partially correct. Upvoted you to 0, all I can do.
P
> scientifically illustrated Do you mean scientifically *illiterate* or am I missing something?
