Paraglider Briefly Spins Out of Control in Mid-Air While Talking on Radio

Ty was recently paragliding 70 kilometres cross-country from Zapotiltic, Mexico, towards San Marcos when his new Aspen6 canopy briefly spun out of control.The short incident occurred while Ty was talking on the radio. Thankfully, the situation was quickly resolved, as Ty recalled to Storyful: “I was new to flying this glider and way overcorrected when it took a small collapse which resulted in the glider spinning. After a few turns, the glider opened up nicely.” Credit: Ty Gunnlaugsson via Storyful
