Confucius say "sometimes it takes more than a rubberband to sustain flight". Confucius also say "what goes up must come down, sometimes dropping like a rock". Confucius live to be wise old man by not immitating the feathered bird.

Re: Guy in His Paramotor Crashed and Died

From the damage, it looks like he went straight into the ground. He must have been trying for a steep, high-bank turn, and lost it.
You actually don't hear of many accidents with these. If the engine quits, you are already in a parachute, so you just land. They are not high-performance machines, you just kind of mush around through the air. They are pretty safe if not mishandled. Takeoff and land at about 15 mph. Fly about 40-50 mph.
