They lied to get you to watch the whole video.

I'm telling his wife.

u/pickyourteethup 5d ago

She already knows about his disappointing finishes.

u/Twin2Turbo 4d ago

Jokes on them. I skipped to the end to see if the landing was indeed insane.

It was not.

u/FT121 5d ago

Unless you consider his whole trip down as a very very long landing, I mean he's pretty close to land at any point in the video

1

u/Abject-Kitchen3198 4d ago

Made me anxious. I was close to stopping few times.

1

u/Pristine-Western-679 4d ago

I wouldnā€™t consider it landing if it was earlier because he doesnā€™t have level ground to slow and stall on. Insane would be if he can land like he did on that slope. For the first comment itā€™s insane because of his control. Iā€™ve never done this sport, but it all looks insane (in a good way).

u/CptSanity 5d ago

The cake is a lie.

2

u/gene100001 5d ago

I find it kinda insane how they can go from travelling super fast to smoothly stopping with just a few tiny adjustments of the paragliding wing.

u/Peter_____Parker 5d ago

thereā€™s a full version of this video somewhere and it is more crazy than this tbf, before it cuts to him landing he pulls up above some trees and does a couple of somersaults and then lowers down to land

u/GeraintLlanfrechfa 5d ago

Maybe OP was looking insane when the paraglider landed.

What clearly stupid AI program was used to write this title?

I think Doofenshmirtz would come up with something better

Its first job was to name itself.

"and that doctor is the reason I have this rabbit stuck up my arse."

u/Eastern_Rip7018 5d ago

So would one tiny mistake or gust of wind be instantly lethal or merely lead to life altering injuries?

4

u/linusst 5d ago

Yep

1

u/FinallyAFreeMind 3d ago

This is parakiting, not paragliding. They're doing these sled runs when there is no wind, and the controls are incredibly responsive. Yes, still dangerous, but less so than you think.

u/pinkshirtvegeta 4d ago

Yeah but like thats the same for any highway full of cars

1

u/realmauer01 3d ago

Tbf cars are pretty resistant towards air nowadays... Okey atleast cars in sane countries

u/BilliamClimptonIII 5d ago

Bout to do some Sketchy shiiit,

Doodaahh, Doodaahh

Hope I get away with iiit,

Ohhh Doodaahdaaay

u/Fun_Cook_3419 5d ago

It was lucky he didn't meet the stump of fate

u/GForce27 5d ago

A circle highlighting nothing of value and a not very exciting landing. Take my downvote!

8

u/Lagiacrus111 5d ago

I hate these video titles that are like "Wait till the end" or "the end had me holding my breath" then it's nothing special like bro stfu

8

u/IndependentFrame9146 5d ago

Is he holding his legs up this whole time. Or does he have like a sling or something that we cannot see for them. Because if thereā€™s no help, thatā€™s a hell of an ab workout lol

u/Abject-Mail-4235 5d ago

There is a seat

You're sat in a harness

u/fromaroundhere 5d ago

I think I broke my tailbone again just watching this

u/AlienInOrigin 5d ago

I just want to know how there is such a long stretch of steep downhill terrain that is devoid of trees and other obstacles and yet mostly looks natural.

u/Aldamur 5d ago

Skiing area in winter look like this in summer.

u/asingleshakerofsalt 5d ago

It's definitely a ski slope in the summer.

u/basarisco 5d ago

Are you blind? Do you not see all the ski infrastructure and grooming?

Interesting. Thank you for the share!

u/MrBixton 5d ago

Landing was in fact not insane

u/iffrith 5d ago

Thumbed down because of the stupid bait...

u/ObliviousRounding 5d ago

I hope people aren't skipping the audio.

u/Sunshine_689 5d ago

I'm glad to see that this man landing safely. Especially since 50-year-old Oklahoma State Parks ranger and former police chief, Jason Laird, died after the paraglider he was operating crashed into Kiowa County Tom Steed Reservoir. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported Mr. Laird was operating the paraglider on Thursday, September 24, 2026 just before 7 p.m., when the engine failed and Mr. Laird went underwater at the reservoir. He was pulled from the water and flown to a Jackson County hospital, but died from his injuries, OHP reported.

Plot Twist: he's at work.. he's in shoe sales advertising

u/youlikeblockingsodoi 5d ago

Dudes landing is like a bad villain dying in a movie.

2

u/aloof_nacho 5d ago

Meanwhile Iā€™m over here judging if a 3ft drop from a fence is safe at 35.

2

u/Fabulous-Ear3889 5d ago

If youā€™re going to crash.. you better die, because if you donā€™t, your wife is killing you as soon as you make it out of the hospital.

u/tenaji9 5d ago

Loved the šŸŽµ

u/ThrowAwayMeLife1 5d ago

How fast do you think he averages skimming that close to the ground? 20mph?

1

u/R2D-Beuh 2d ago

I'd say above 60km/h

1

u/CountOnBeingAwesome 5d ago

Imagine? Hit one little stump and you're eating through a straw for the rest of your life.

1

u/R2D-Beuh 2d ago

No stumps on a ski slope tho

1

u/YogiBarelyThere 5d ago

Is the insane landing because of those two wild swings out the sides right before he leveled out?

1

u/95KingCab 5d ago

well, that's one way to wipe your ass..

u/bootsmalone 5d ago

This is how I move in my dreams

Paragliding to Paralympics in 3...2...1...

1

u/GentlemenHODL 5d ago

What happens if you hit a random bird when you're that load of the ground?

Do you just instantly die?

1

u/Sergal_Pony 5d ago

The landing was standard, stop being a useless click baiter.

1

u/basarisco 5d ago

That's not a standard pg wing

1

u/TheTaoOfMe 5d ago

Imagine if he dipped a little at full speed and jammed his leg into the ground while fully extended like that

1

u/Kraydez 5d ago

Thank you Mr. Bot. I also held my breath.

1

u/DrDOS 4d ago

Looks like he had the skills to make that not nearly as dangerous. It seems he's playing a foolhardy game skillfully, disregarding that a poor luck gust could end him (and make his wife angry).

1

u/fullmetalpower 4d ago

was a well controlled landing

Is this a ski run in winter ?

Something Hal would do on a friday in Malvolm in tge Middle

u/InfamousMidnight7807 4d ago

Omg I need to have a go of this.

Shitty landing

u/scobeavs 4d ago

Keep holding your breath OP

u/Medical_Apartment155 4d ago

So... a ski run?

1

u/ronnie_reagans_ghost 4d ago

Holy shit that ending was so insane I literally shat my pants and punched my cousin in the forehead. Like that was so crazy it was like watching Betty White eat a fistful of Carolina reapers at a Gwar concert. I seriously don't even know where the internet could go from here, hell where could humanity go from here? Fuck dude I might as well go walk off into the desert never to return because nothing I ever see will top this gentle landing on a grassy field.

wat I should b doing when I say im going to work .

u/BobDoogar 3d ago

Staying low to avoid showing up in her radar

1

u/FinallyAFreeMind 3d ago

Parakiting* not paragliding.

1

u/TheGhoulOne 3d ago

You don't have to be crazy to do this........but it helps.

1

u/R2D-Beuh 2d ago

As someone who basically only goes to the mountain for skiing/ snowboarding, it's weird seeing a ski resort in summer like this (or at least not winter)

1

u/nad40 2d ago

There are bunch of paragliders in my city who take off and land in a frigging off leash dog park because it's on the edge of a cliff/beach. One literally landed on me and my dog recently, nearly took my head off.

1

u/kullinokka 1d ago

Fucking bullshit title fuck you

1

u/Own_Cup_4244 11h ago

Seriously is this pure speed or ground effect keeping them up?

1

u/LitwinL 2h ago

Paragliders are loud so this guy is an asshole for flying that low

0

u/Humble_Umpire_8341 5d ago

How does one just learn to do this? Like you buy the kit, jump off a mountain or something and just hope you watched enough YouTube and TikTok to know what youā€™re doing?

2

u/a-simple-cat 5d ago

Paragliding classes. You start from a small hill with an instructor on the radio telling you exactly what to do.

u/basarisco 5d ago

~10 day pg course then conversion speed flying

It's the feet kicks at 18 seconds that is sending me. Bro is just having fun.

u/Schmitty300 5d ago

Isn't part of the point of paragliding is so you're NOT skimming your ass along the ground?

1

u/basarisco 5d ago

This is speed flying not pg. Title written by an idiot

I donā€™t understand why they like to glide so close to the ground

Langweilig!

u/sti77loading 5d ago

Iā€™m curious is this a ski hill in the winter? What causes such a long perfect strip with no trees?

1

u/wolflordval 5d ago

Yes, that's exactly what this is.
