Hook in failure in New Zealand

Jim Rooney - 2006/09/24 21:19:29 UTC

There isn't one sure-fire answer.

Is this a joke ?

The weaklink blew and the glider stalled--needed every bit of the 250 ft agl to speed up and pull out. I'm alive because I didn't use a stronger one.

hook-in failures

As for Jim Rooney--he's well known for his rather spare and direct "tell it like it is" style--but it's very rare when Jim doesn't say something that's right on target, timely and accurate.

Getting into the sport! Advise appreciated!

If you are within a 100 mile radius of San Bernardino, my recommendations are Crestline and "High Adventure". Rob McKenzie is arguably one of the best instructors in the business and Crestline is the Disneyland of hang gliding in So Cal.
