Friday 25th of November we had an accident with one of our test pilot while testing paraglider. After an asymmetric collapse the glider got a cravat, pilot was twisted, glider re-opened but it went violently in a spiral (neutrality spiral) and because of g-force pilot couldn't open the main rescue. Right before the impact the pilot reached the second rescue.
At the hospital in Montreux they checked the pilot, stating a small fraction in L3, the spleen was leaking and shoulder-blade (scapula) was broken in 3 parts, the muscles were quite bruised. Because of the spleen he was flown to Lausanne (CHUV) with helicopter, Friday afternoon.
The pilot has been in intensive care until Monday and will be 100% well after the recovery. The pilot is progressing fast and will probably be at home in a few days.
-We are happy we are testing above the water and that we have security on the lake-.
טייס ניסוי שבדק חופה קיבל קריסה אסימטרית, חזיה, נכנס לספיראלה נעולה, לא הצליח לזרוק רזרבי בגלל כוחות ה G שהתפתחו, לפני האימפקט הצליח להגיע לרזרבי השני.
לסיום הם כותבים שהם מאושרים שהם עושים את הבדיקות מעל אגם עם שירותי הצלה.
לידיעת כל אלו שנוהגים לרדת בספיראלה באתרים רגילים.
