Perhaps due to the helmet flying off he has a bit of a sore head and some broken ribs from the deployment shock - but he's going to be OK.

Looping hang gliders is for nutters!

You ain't kidding Gordon :ack2:

Glad the chute deployment went ok and i take it the guy landed ok.
There must of been some high G's on the loop then?

And a dying breed I would imagine :ack2:

They say there are those that have yet to loop, and those that will never loop again, but very few others.
The most G is of course at the beginning of the loop, when you pull up with all the speed on, at the top yuo need just enough to stay positive and not go "straps loose".
Personally I have only gone to about 150 degrees bank, rather than 180, which is less easy to get wrong. But I throw the glider about a lot less than I used to in the past.
