Lead ballon states a good comparison…paragliding is even worse as the chances of out running the weather is near zero and many comp days are lost when the director orders the field to land immediately..sometimes even this drastic step isn’t enough.
Did a lot of sailing with a mate who was in the bad fastnet and spent three days running up the Irish Sea. We had one trip in mid summer up the french coast where we sheltered for days.
Have a reminder on the wall at home
”everyone who lives dies”
‘But not everyone who dies lives”
”We do these things not so that we may die but so that we can say we have lived”.
