Hang glider's wing failure.

A couple of videos showing an aerobatic hang glider undergoing a catastrophic wing failure in Norway. Just imagine the G-forces he's under in the spin before his chute deploys. https://vimeo.com/173252167 https://vimeo.com/173368686 Ekstremsportveko is some sort of extreme sports thing in Norway.

That was a wild ride even after the chute deployed, someone will want to be looking very closely at what caused that spar to let go in the way that it did.

Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁
