arse!

So.. no wind and down on the beach for a paramotor take off.

wing comes up, I start to run, but not fast enough what with there being no wind - wing goes off to one side so I want to abort - and for some reason my brain decides to take these 100ms to fart and tell me that to abort it is imperative that I hit the kill switch.... not take my hand of the throttle mind - just try to find the kill switch...

result - lose my balance and fall - prop joins the great prop graveyard of the sky.

arse. arse. arse.

To rub it in, I then watch the best sunset so far from my balcony.

So - now need to hope we can find a new prop which will probably cost me 300 quid.

that's the first prop I've done in over 3 1/2 years. :-(
