vuduchile 1,941 Posted November 27, 2018 No. I mean actually hanging from a glider. https://www.yahoo.com/news/first-time-hang-glider-hangs-130518623.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Guy 1,400 Posted November 27, 2018 Crazy.....fortunate he was able to hold on so long. Also.....the pilot should have landed long before he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sderk 1,040 Posted November 27, 2018 I bet that was the longest 2:14 of that guy's life. Torn bicep tendon from hanging on tells it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted November 27, 2018 The pilot was weird. Maybe he couldn't get it down faster, but he sure took the long way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 27, 2018 The pilot was weird. Maybe he couldn't get it down faster, but he sure took the long way. Probably didn't want to refund the guy his money so he gave him the whole tour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted November 27, 2018 Fockkkkkk that. Typically why I don't do things where my life depends on someone else doing their job. No thanks. Yep. Especially as I'm getting older and with little ones my risk tolerance is almost 0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 27, 2018 Yea I’ll pass on that. I’m sure it’s fun but that video shows me enough. Just like zip lining. Great fun and very safe but I also knew a pro zip line instructor who fell to her death, no thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted November 28, 2018 I dont know why he didnt (or I guess he couldnt) climb up enough to put the bar under his arm pits. Has to be easier then hanging by one hand on bar and one hand gripping pilots pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sderk 1,040 Posted November 28, 2018 I dont know why he didnt (or I guess he couldnt) climb up enough to put the bar under his arm pits. Has to be easier then hanging by one hand on bar and one hand gripping pilots pants. With only one hand on the bar, I imagine he didn't want to let go of whatever his other hand was holding onto. I don't think a lot of people have the strength with one arm to do a pullup and let go for a second to get that arm on the other side of the bar and secure themselves while their lower body weight swings forward and battling the winds as well.

Probably but if he did it early might of been better. Yes I am a Monday morning QB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alias Detective 1,179 Posted November 28, 2018 I arm wrestle and work the crap out of my forearms and grip. I can’t imagine how much grip strength it took to pull that off. Not just holding on, but I’d be curious how much wind force was also working against the grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
