Terrifying moment paraglider falls out of the sky

Where do i find the vid at

Lesson is.

Don’t max out your glider because this can happen and it might be worse for you.

deserved, as a paraglider, you never max out the speed, or take your hand off the handles.

Something happened to you

Dude what caused that?? I’ve watched like 30 times by now

Lesson is don’t use your phone while flying 🙏🏻

It's a parameter unless you're talking about the wing

Here’s the math

The terminal velocity is the constant speed a skydiver reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force of air resistance. For a typical skydiver in a belly-to-earth position, terminal velocity is roughly 120 mph (193 km/h).

However, height and body mass affect terminal velocity slightly. Taller or heavier skydivers might experience a higher terminal velocity. A person who is 6’2” may fall slightly faster due to greater surface area and mass, but the difference would be marginal.

Formula for Terminal Velocity:

v_t = sqrt{frac{2mg}{rho A C_d}}

where:

• m = mass of the skydiver (kg),
• g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²),
• rho = air density (1.225 kg/m³ at sea level),
• A = cross-sectional area of the skydiver,
• C_d = drag coefficient (typically 1.0 to 1.3 for a skydiver in a belly-to-earth position).

2. Time of Free Fall

The time it takes to reach terminal velocity depends on the altitude. If a skydiver jumps from 12,000 feet (typical for tandem jumps), they would reach terminal velocity within 10-12 seconds, covering the first 1,500 feet in that time. Afterward, the person falls at a constant rate until the parachute deploys.

• Free fall time from 12,000 feet: About 45 to 60 seconds until parachute deployment.

3. Gravitational Force

The force due to gravity can be calculated using:

F_g = mg

where:

• F_g is the gravitational force in Newtons (N),
• m is the mass of the skydiver in kilograms,
• g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).

4. Air Resistance and Drag

Drag force opposes gravity and increases as the skydiver’s velocity increases. At terminal velocity, the drag force equals the gravitational force, resulting in no further acceleration

😂🤣😂🤣😂

Oi mate what ya doin on ya phone!

48 miles per hour come on baby, famous last words

Never knew captain price was a thrill seeker

This happened like 10 minutes from my moms house… they're building new homes in the area, and that land is solid as a rock. Must've came down like a goddamn brick, broken every bone in his body.

Oh my Lord 😮

siri call 911 man.
