    1. Held a stall all the way to the ground, luckily it seems such a big wing it provided a lot of drag as it was horseshoe above you. Pilot didn't seem to comprehend spin recovery or stall prevention.

    2. This is like old people (like me) who go for the brake on a car, but it's the accelerator and then they press even harder until a wall helps them slow down. Here, the brakes are on hard, trouble happens and the brakes just go on harder and harder until the ground interrupts their fall.

    3. Never go higher than you are willing to fall and crash. Remember that even a fall of only a foot high onto a solid surface can cause damage. Imagine what will will happen to you if you fell from a hundred feet onto a solid surface. Make your funeral arrangements and your will before you leave the ground, and say goodbye to your family and friends.

    4. 1. When the pilot is wearing a full face helmet, gloves and a thick jumpsuit, that should be an indication that pajama shorts and a bicycle helmet is lacking. 2. Never, ever and mean ever should you wear a Portland Oregon shirt. 3. Never ride on something where a stranger literally has his package rubbing up against your back, unless of course, you're from Portland and you like that kind of thing.

    5. Okay, so what happened? Was there a mechanical malfunction? A sudden wind shift? Or pilot error? You don't say so here.
      Hope you're both all right.
