Why it was made, the intended audience, what went into it, and why you should own this essential DVD. Jeff Goin. The vast majority of paramotor entrants enthuse over the sport's simple elegance, affordability and minimal regulation. Indeed, that is what got me so juiced, too. But there are some surprising dark corners that, while easily avoidable, are not obvious. Through several years of aggressively exploring the craft, I learned about many of them- -a few the hard way. I learned even more by talking and spending time with the sport's most prolific and skilled instructors. These were people who knew what was actually happening and had developed ways to improve the situation. It was obvious that we, as a community, needed to get the word out. After one particularly harrowing experience, I set out to create "The USPPA Safety Video." It started with an outline that eventually became a script, listing the the ways that pilots were actually getting hurt and what could be done to prevent those injuries. That script was passed around to a number of highly regarded instructors who gave valuable input which was incorporated. It turns out that a huge majority of wing- related accidents shared a common thread: too much brake pull—a reaction aggravated frequently by having or holding too much power. It wasn't the wing's mis- behaving, it was the pilot's overreaction that turned a minor bobble into a major crash. In fact, nearly all PPG accidents where the wing does something unexpected was a result of the pilot pulling too much brake. Worse than that was where serious injuries were occurring. They came not from flying at all but rather from the propeller. And most of those occurred during start or runup. There are a host of other maladies that needed attention and were covered—aspects of paramotoring where risk was present but not readily apparent. It was my hope to present the problem and, whenever practical, its solution. Another major goal was to show why proper instruction is so critical. Seeing all there is to know would hopefully make any pilot heed the admonition to get good, thorough training. It shows why choosing an instructor who uses a standard syllabus is better guaranteed to cover the necessary material. Any instructor not using the USPPA syllabus, or one that covers at LEAST the same material, is denying their student the advantage of collective wisdom. It Can't Cover Everything. We wanted to address the major causes of calamity in 6. Obviously, it can't cover everything. Free flyers, for example, put themselves in strong conditions necessarily. They rely on rising air that's strong enough to remain aloft and sometimes climb to great heights—an endeavor that carries a price. Turbulence associated with such lift has proven deadly; even highly experienced pilots have succumb to malfunctions in strong conditions. According to the U. S. Hang gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA), the major cause of serious accidents in paragliding is wing deformations resulting from turbulence. That should send a powerful message. But for paramotor pilots that is not their greatest worry so it gets much less time in the video. R& R does, however, offer a concise solution to the vast majority of maladies caused by turbulence that are likely to be encountered. Clear avoidance of strong conditions is far better than recovery. It goes without saying that any pilot is best armed with the tools of prevention and recovery, but it is equally obvious that staying out of strong conditions is even more effective. Hopefully somebody will someday produce a "Paragliding: Risk & Reward." But alas, even though I'm an avid free flyer, it has never become the passion that paramotoring has. Another video, Instability II, does a spectacular job addressing wing maladies and handling them. It is clear, concise, accurate and well done—a perfect adjunct to Risk and Reward. Produced by extremely skilled pilots, it vividly points out how some maladies, particularly those that cause sudden or steepening turns do require immediate action. A cravat, for example, where part of the wingtip gets caught in the lines, is one such case. While the vast majority of cravats that happen to PPG pilots will be minor and allow almost normal flying, getting a big one that causes a steepening turn requires immediate correction (this is covered in Chapter 4 of the Powered Paragliding Bible). You bet. I made no money on the production, it was a product of passion. A project, like the later- appearing PPG Bible, that needed to be done. To a large degree, it's a selfish attempt at preservation. Preserving what has proven so rewarding and has become such a large part of my life. Many of the admonitions don't sound "cool" but rather are practical and effective. Human factors techniques are used, like the ones employed so successfully in the airlines. I strongly believe that Risk and Reward, like The Powered Paragliding Bible are building blocks to a foundation of knowledge that will help insure every pilot's longevity and, hopefully, the sport's longevity. A good instructor and thorough training are, of course, even more essential but why not start out with with the proper tools? Powered Sport Flying Magazine Article. From an article first published in the May 2. Powered Sport Flying Magazine. As said by a famous man two millennia ago, “It is Finished.”. After over four years, six locations, countless shoots and two recording sessions with William Shatner, the USPPA project “Risk & Reward is finally in the can. The 6. 7 minute packed show was expertly produced by Phil Russman of Lite Touch Films and involved many, many people in the scripting, filming, and contributed footage. It is a must- see for anybody currently flying powered paragliders or expecting to start training. The intent is this: Expose the risks of our sport and, whenever possible, reveal how to minimize them. You won’t learn how to hook up your risers, that is the purview of an instructor, but you will learn when it’s a good idea not to hook up your risers. Risk & Reward Reviews - The United States Powered Paragliding Association. Back: Risk & Reward. What pilots are saying about the movie…“I Received Risk and Reward. I’ve watched it at least 4 times. Its pretty darned good…You and Jeff Did an outstanding Job.”- James M. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with the two DVD’s I received yesterday. I will watch them over and over again. I am sure I will be a better pilot because of them. I will also be able to impress others the safety issues so necessary to enjoying this exciting new hobby. I will seek out more knowledge and then proceed in obtaining instruction.”- Marc C 1. What a terrific video! This is just what our industry needed. It really covers all the basics in 9. Great job!”- Scott Hall“I have watched R& R several times. Being a PPG pilot for almost 2years, I still learned a lot. Funny thing is, one thing in the video (loose brake handle going into the prop) I didn’t think could really happen. Well, it happened to me 2 weeks ago. I don’t doubt any of it anymore. Well done”- “Twister”“I just saw Risk and Reward. Congratulations Bro! That is one of the better PG videos I’ve seen produced in my opinion. Ever thought of doing one for Paragliding?”- Kevin Lee, California“I watched the DVD last night and the presentation of the information isexcellent. The content is excellent. The narrative is very clear and easyto understand. The diagrams are very helpful. Honestly, there is somethingin this video for everyone — not just PPG pilots.…I highly recommend the film because it does an excellent job of creatingawareness of the countless variables that most new pilots (and other pilotstoo) just don’t stop to consider. Essentially, it addresses the age oldissue of “you don’t know what you don’t know.”- Jayne De. Panfilis, Colorado“Just thought I let you know “Risk and Reward” is excellent, from beginning to end. I’m sure it will serve the PPG community well. It should be viewed by even the most experience pilots at least once a year. It is great to bring safety tips back to a conscious awareness from time to time. This entertaining film is a fun way to do it…a reminder that flying a powered paraglider is as safe as you care to make it! So here is to keeping the Gremlin on the wagon! Thanks again”Lenny Stella, Illinois“I ordered the training DVD “Risk and Reward” from www. Lite. Touch. Films. US. They air mailed it straight away. It is brilliantly and cleverly filmed,interesting throughout and the instructional content is comprehensive. I can’t imagine a better PPG training DVD — especially for beginners like myself.”- Jos Weemaes, Australia“It truly is the highest quality, most professionallyand cleverly done PPG (or PG, for that matter) DVD I’ve ever seen. Well Done!! As a new comer to the sport I found it’s instructionalcontent very, very helpful…it is Brilliant!”- Lee Lynn, Australia“Awesome production! Stunning photography! Excellent narration! Thanks for all the hard work!”- Steve Boser, Florida“You did a fantastic job on the DVD, Great job guys. I loved the downwind demon, He sure made me laugh when he was on the screen.”- James Zeman, Michigan“I just got finished watching the new Risk & Reward DVD, and I am very impressed! This will be ‘Standard Equipment’ with every PPG pilot training we do from now on.”- Chad Bastian, California“I just finished watching the Risk & Reward DVD. Off the charts!!! I can’t imagine it being done any better, and I learned a great deal. You can be sure that it will save many injuries and perhaps lives. I have ordered copies for all my students.”- Jerry Starbuck, Virginia“A must- see for all PPG Pilots and Wanabees!”- John Fetz, Arizona“Congrats Guys, A perfect balance of what a pilot needs to knowand why a new student needs a good instructor. Well Done”- Jeff Baumgartener, Wisconsin“If you must only see one video on powered paragliding, this should be it. It could save your life” – Jeff Goin, Illinois“Risk & Reward has given me hours of great entertainmentand I have also learned a lot after seven years, Great stuff!”- Hans P, Sweden“I was just watching the Risk and Rewards DVD and foundit to be very helpful. I am flying a paraglider and hope to buy aparamotor soon”- Gudjon, Iceland.
