Still awesome. Even better in a group actually.

Ooh, midair wing contact. Just the tip of course.

Touching another wing in flight with his foot. Ha.

See him fly a carbon fiber model and film with a go-pro stick! It's a weird effect...

Perfect example in its unexceptionality:

Finally the video I wanted.

What happens in turbulence or if the wing collapses? He ascends through some nasty stuff and then discusses safety.

It really comes down to the wing (some beginner ones are really stable) and he carries a reserve chute. As long as he gets enough altitude to use it.

To me, this means paramotoring is just like aircraft: Most dangerous on the takeoff and landing.

Good Q&A vid.

Love the selfie stick perspective.
