Erik Paragliding

Watch as Erik takes flight in his first solo paraglide attempt near his hometown. Erik uses two radios (one for back up) to communicate with the ground. Tied to his waist is a ten foot section of string with a heavy bell hanging at the end. The bell hits the ground moments before impact telling Erik when to flair his wing and slow himself down.
